Friday: Decided with the weather being what it was, and what is coming in this week it was prime time to take off. Loaded Breez, Sky, and a shotgun and headed west around 11am. Just me and the dogs! Arrived at a spot west of Mitchell about 2:16. Aired the dogs out, geared up, and put Breez on the ground. First bird contact came this far from the truck:
3 hens and two roosters jump up from a skittish point. I pop the trigger on the 686/20 on the first one and he goes down with a thud. Second bird get a pass.
Continue down the shallow creek bottom
another 50 yards or so and Breez locks up solid.. Another rooster falls to the top skeet tube and a load of 5s.
another 100 yards, and just like the last one, and I'm done.
I feel bad that I didnt get a chance to put Sky (Breezs son) on the ground.
Head to the cabin at Chamberlain scouting along the way just in time to witness an awesome sunset. Theyre all good when your in SD!
Cleaned my birds, and my partner had my boat out fishing with a friend of his. Not much luck fishing this day, so we opted for fresh pheasant for supper! Add in raw fried potatoes and cream style corn and a couple cosktails, and it just dont get much better than that.
Slept like a baby, often dreaming of staunch pointing dogs and the sounds of cackling roosters and frantic wing beats.
