Look out! I'm about to blast you with rainbows and sunshine!
I'm going to have to say, "worst upland season ever".
My old dog died right before the upland season started, and it still hurts.
Managed to get my pup into ... wait for it ... ZERO coveys of quail around home and zero coveys in SE Kansas. Except for one pretty good field we stumbled onto in NW Kansas, the poor little thing probably has forgotten what we are even looking for.
My 4 1/2 year old GWP is in the prime of her hunting career and in excellent physical condition. She got a little bit of pheasant action, but had pretty much the same quail season as the pup.
Highlights- I shot a deer with a bow for the first time.

Reunited with an old hunting buddy who has been away for two years.:thumbsup: Introduced a newbie to upland hunting.

Got a puppy.

Started a new "annual" trip.
So I guess it wasn't ALL bad. When I look at the hunting season in general, the deer and the waterfowl salvaged it for me. My upland season reminds me of a monkey F-ing a football.
Happy New Year!
