Going to head back up to the ranch tomorrow night. Running my young GSP for a couple of days. Last week was too dang hot but the next couple of days are prime. Plenty of moisture too. Anyone else still pushing wild birds?
Got a small front pushing through the rolling plains

Well I put the dogs on the ground at 8:15 and quit early at 10:30 am -we were only able to get on 4 covies and several singles (kinda weird). .I went back in the evening and ran the last 1 1/2hrs of light and we put up 4 more covies. Definitely not one of our better hunts for the season but I sure was happy. I feel blessed to have access to birds this late into the season. I had to park the truck in town and take the Polaris down the county road in order to get to the ranch. There wasn't a set one of truck tracks on any of the graded roads-its a mess getting in there when it rains. A rancher in town fore-warned me the night before that they received 2" of rain that day. The fields were pretty soggy and a lot of puddles everywhere. We were trailing birds to the treelines and into the thick cedar-I was calling the dogs off. I shot doubles out of each covey with my faithful 20 and left the singles alone for another day. I really think the birds had moved out to get out of the wet conditions. I left the next morning cutting our hunting time to one day.....I'll be back next weekend, this will be my last hoorah as it is the final weekend of our season. Good luck to all that go out for the finale.
