walk213,
Glad you were able to get some birds on your last trip. Great Video.

Thanks for watching. It was a cool hunt with some good people. Hope you are able to get out this week.Great way to finish out a season, enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing.
Echo is looking great already heading into "magic" year number four next season. My Lab had that light bulb moment that everyone talks about while hunting up in North Dakota.

We have to work on where she hunts. This year, she got away from me five or six times. Roosters were running and she pursued. Unfortunately, she pushed them out of my shooting range. I need to talk with my breeder/trainer about how we work on that issue.
I have the same issue with my Springer this year. If he hit a hot sent he was on it until he flushed the bird. Like you said in another thread, "I can't run after the dog anymore." I can move quick but running is out. Fortunately for me they were mostly hens. Could not turn him or stop him. So if your breeder has a solution I'd like to hear it. Ty ran like that when he was a pup but after his first year he stopped and hunted fairly close.
Chickens at this time of year are tough to get close too. They are a bird that relies on "sight to flight". They see you long before you see them and when they doe they start flushing. Once and along while you can catch a straggler but not that often. Early morning in snowing or foggy conditions is when I have my best late season success. PS on all this: Blaze orange with chickens is like blaze orange with duck or turkeys.. No good.
Great video. Especially love the incoming shot on that rooster in the tree line. He just folds so nicely.
Great soundtrack. We'll have to talk about Aaron Lewis sometime.

I am from a town north of Boston. Aaron is a Massachusetts man, and he is a hunter. I like his voice. Candidly, I am a heavy metal guy who just started listening to country music. I have a lot of comments from people that want to hear my voice and/or don't want to hear the music. I am a bit self conscious and I don't want to hear my voice.
Ross,
I have never liked my voice on recording. I don't think I sound that way so I understand the self conscious thing.
Along time ago in a galaxy far far away I moved to Springfield, MA (when I was younger and dumb then wizened up and moved back to CO). Aaron was my construction business partners neighbor. Helluva a nice guy. He was a all around outdoor guy. His band was Staind at that time and they played the local venues around in WMass. That was before he hooked up with Fred Durst and went big. He was a bit hard rock then. Only recently he went country. I remember when he wanted to give my buddy Stanley's daughter a CD and Stanley said, "No that's not the type of music you should be listening to this young." Stanley and his wife Sue used to summer vacation with Aaron's parents on the Cape.
And yes I hunted pheasants there too......
Now that the season has settled and thing aren't so hectic I'll give you a call. We can go grab a beer over at Downhill Brewing Company and talk bird hunting and the East Coast...
Matt
I like your soundtracks too Ross.
They keep teasing us saying Stained is getting back together...……..
