This is a good year!

A good bird hunting year that is! Certainly not a good year in terms of the probable continuation of the human race, but it is a good year for birds. I believe a wet winter and spring brought grasses and bugs, precipitating more birds. There seem to be more birds than there have been in the last half-decade, IMHO. We have been to Wyoming and North Dakota; both were terrific hunts. There were opportunities to take limits on both hunts, which is especially rare in the Cowboy state.

It feels good to be stumbling on uneven, rocky ground again. The weather has been spectacular, if not a bit too warm. I hope you enjoy these pictures.

I am not a big fan of the obligatory tailgate carnage photo, but this is a good one. It was a great day.

One of Kyle’s first wild pheasants! It was a great introduction to the great hunting in North Dakota.

Does this bring back memories?

A key to success in walking a field is to maintain a disciplined, straight line of hunters. It is a matter of safety and puts more birds in the bag.

Dogs needed lots of water.
