Best day ever!

Thin them rascals out before a hard winter does it for you. How many are on the platform? I have to imagine they are much tougher to hit than pheasants...about 4 or 5 boxes of shells for that mess? Or more? That must have taken all day. I see that and just imagine myself shooting maybe 20% and being out of shells every 15 minutes!

We almost canceled due to the wind forecast, it was blowing 20-30 right out the gate, switched to the north at 11 am and dropped 15 degrees in minutes.. no clue how many shells we shot but at 2 pm it was blowing 40 and we called it a day. Shot good as a group and had fantastic dog work on dead’s and cripples. Fantastic property!
 
Nice work. You have the right kind of dog there. What is that under the duct tape for the boots. Looks kind of like pool table felt. I’m learning all this desert hunting stuff. I’ve got some lewis boots and vet wrap, duck tape. We, the dog and I are heading to Arizona when the weather looks good. I’m a little apprehensive about this type of hunting. Mainly worried about snakes. I don’t do well with snakes. We can deal with the cactus, rocks, spiders whatever. If I see or hear of a snake I’m out of there and not going back.

Full disclosure that’s my friends dog, my first setter should be born any day! Currently have some German dogs. Those are boots from motorcycle inner tubes, really effective on grass burs burs… Lewis are a good boot
 
Snakes.. I don’t like them either, but they live here and I’ve done what I can on the prevention side. It’s happened to me before and I’ll deal with it if it happens again.

It was inevitable, too many warm days down here this winter… I’d rather find them on the road than in the field!
 
I’m sitting in gayman Oklahoma. I’m thinking now maybe I should have ruby snake avoidance trained before we venture out into the wilderness. 68 tomorrow. I need some thicker pants for myself as well. I had a real experience snake guy tell me yesterday you can walk within feet of 100 and be lucky to notice 1. Just give me the creeps thinking about it.
