Hunted some crp early today running all 3 of my weims. Pushing 60° with a 15 mph wind. Had some good tracking,trailing pointing. Had all 3 on point in a field corner. 5 roosters boiled out and as was getting ready to pick 1 out another 3 came out. Picked 1 of them and dumped him. A younger me would have gotten 3 but I am happy to just shoot 1 at a time now.
Hunted another piece and the ground was so rough that I toned the dog hoping the bird he was pointing would flush my way because I couldn't walk over there. It flushed away of course.
Hunted the same 1st place the last hour with a friend and his 2 vdds. I only ran my female. I dropped a bird she was working and it was off to the races. 100 yards down the fence line and into a slough. She flipped the bird once but couldn't grab it. She kept wanting to go east and but wasn't acting like she had scent so I called her back and had her working in the slough. Slough was not wide so I got her to the other side and she started working back east. Then she went back across and east before rushing in and coming out 40 yards later with the bird.
My buddy hit 1 twice and was headed after his bird which went over the hill. He never found his bird but flushed about 30 birds. A short distance later he shot twice at a bird which flew 200 yards and went up and then came down dead in a adjoining pasture. I left my gun and went out aways before sending my dog on the blind retrieve. When I got back to him he asked where that bird came from? I said you shot it. He said I thought I missed it clean. I said shoot better or miss better.
