Colorado Hunt

[hayduke]

I have a couple of observations from my hunt. I am sure there are those that will set me straight if I wonder too far off the mark.

1) Does anyone else have the problem of watching their dog work and looking for a flush and stepping into a jack rabbit hole and falling completely on their face ( three times) Only thing worst is a badger hole in SD.

2) The walk-in maps where great and the plots really where pretty nice. It would be nicer if there where a few more road letters on the maps. Better yet if DOW could put them on a file to down load to a GPS like SD that would be great. The best spot I hunted was in between two walk ins and I did realize I wasn't on the Walk in property, didn't mean to trespass, but signage wasn't clear and the birds where flushing, may not have been totally thinking right. I do like that Colorado shows what crops or habitat is on the plot, for that they have SD beat.

Saw a lot of birds many many hens which doesn't surprise me this time of year, if I lived in Denver metro I'd be out every weekend. All in all I think Colorado DOW did a great job and a big thanks to all the farmers that where kind enough to enrolled their plots in the walk in program.
Thanks

HAHA I think I fall or come close to falling every time out. I know I watched a few of my buddies fall flat on their face lol. Yes I watch my dogs cause they know where the birds are :thumbsup:.

I stepped in a hole on one of my pheasant hunting outings this year ... my hip was sore for three days. Most of the eople at work just don't understand. :laugh:

Bingo! It is amazing isn't it?

I had a really good day of hunting on a preserve at the beginning of November. Someone asked me about having such a good day, I jokingly said "I just started following Dakota because all of the birds we found were always right there in front of him.

Yes I watch my dogs cause they know where the birds are :thumbsup:.

Happens now and again - to the dogs as well...

What really hurts, is watching your GSP as she quarters at a high speed in front of you... Last year Cassidy hit a hole, rolled and tumbled in front of me.. She was done for the majority of the season... She tweaked her rear hip..
