Well besides dove, but they dont really count lol I took my springer pup Sprig down to a local hunting preserve where I bought a bird card for this season. Had them plant 5 chukar in some fairly short cover for his first hunt of the year. It was a lot warmer than I'd hoped it would be and I dont think the scenting conditions were the best and he got tired pretty quick. But aside from that he did pretty well. He put up all the birds except one where he caught it before it flew. And he retrieved all 4 that I shot to hand which I was really pleased with. Over all I think it was a good hunt and Im a proud owner :D next time Im going out when its a lot cooler and not so dry.



 
way to go! don't care what anyone says....released birds or wild birds...it sure beats sitting on the couch or computer. I was planning on going out today too, but it is unseasonably warm here in WI of late.

those look like some pretty large chukar as well! :thumbsup:
 
Great hunt and photos!
 
Pup looks very happy, good job.:thumbsup:
