Went to a completely different area than the usual yesterday & had to scratch for em' a little harder this time around - but still had some beautiful textbook flushes in some of the prettiest CRP grass-cover I have ever seen (not too bad for this late in the season)...Two of us & three dogs burned up many MILES of boot leather all-day-long in some BIG CRP patches & loved every minute of it!!! :thumbsup:
I was almost able to post a tongue-in-cheek funny on here about how it was not a very fun day at all because I only got to shoot three times - but oh the pressure of that last bird in a possible 3-for-3, & the Good Lord always sees to it that there is something to help keep us humble when the ol' head starts to swell a little too much!
The finest moment of the day came late in the afternoon on the very last pass, with the CRP grass all awash in the low-hanging sun's bright yellow backlight - it was like walking in the middle of a fine painting or being in a cream-of-the-crop classic upland hunting story!...With birds already in the bag, it didn't even bother us that we hardly saw or got up anything on that particular pass - just enjoyed the quiet moment/beautiful scenery & watching the dogs work! The only bird we got up on the entire pass, was when we were almost back at the truck at the last moment of legal shooting-light - it came up directly behind my partner & flew straight over the top of his head, offering two "PERFECT" air-ball shots - it was almost as if the bird was waving goodbye & saying, "Y'all come back now, ya hear"! :cheers:
