Great day to be out, birds held tight. And Luke was a rockstar. If it wasn't for him I most likely would have went home empty handed. he dug numerous birds out of the grass for me...
The last field I walked was a wooly waterway through a corn stubble field, about Half way through the draw is a patch of thick grass about 30 yards long and 20 yards wide. Normally this is where they are, Luke kicked out two hens in front of me, then he flushes a rooster that he damn near got the tailfeathers of, I drop him, and another roosters follows from the same spot. Drop him as well, they both fell in the stubble and took off running. Luke went after the first bird to the right, and the other went strait ahead, so here I am running after this damn bird I get about 60 yrds across the field and almost on top of him, and Luke comes out of nowhere with the first bird in his mouth and jumps on top of the other runner.. needless to say it was a proud moment. Just wish he would have told me that I didn't need to waste my time chasing this one. haha
And I was back in the truck and on the way home in time to listen to the whole Chiefs Disaster...
This was the first time this year I've had a whole day, just me and Luke. My favorite hunts of the year are always solo hunts. Something about being out just the two of us. Hopefully we will be able to do this one more time before the season ends.

I imagine your dog had to put up with a lot of pecking and kicking! Thanks for sharing your story and reminding me of one of my favorite hunting moments with my ol' dog. :thumbsup:
