Bird on the right looks like a nice oneI got to hunt a couple morning spots Monday before it was back to work later that day. Got a bird in Iowa and one in Minnesota.

I love it. So much fun when they hold a point for that length of time.View attachment 12151
Younger dog above. Nine year vet below. Had them pinned along a soybean field (but their crop said they fed in the harvested corn field across the road) ... he had them pinned there for almost two minutes. Garmin beep said on point ... took a while for me to get there.

Yeah he is a dandy. We got him on a piece of Iowa public land that has always had my number. I hunt it a couple times a year and could never kill a rooster there. Once or twice I whiffed easy shots. Last year my gun jammed with the only rooster in range all day. Thankfully it all came together yesterday when Roxy ran into a long thicket and I hustled down the edge, unable to see her, and suddenly a chorus of cackles and two big birds in the air. I coulda tried for a longshot double, but instead just concentrated on the closer one and luckily made a good shot.Bird on the right looks like a nice one
