Last Friday ended the 2016 season for us. *I was fortunate enough to get invited to hunt some private land. *It was a beautiful day with very little wind. * Deep brushy*coulees with cattails in the bottom and wheat fields on top. *It took the better part of the day with most birds out smarting us and flushing wild ahead, but we cornered enough birds to get them to hold and limited out with one bonus sharpie.
Finn, my 7 month old Griff, did well. *He sniffed out a couple hens and hesitated before the flush. *He pointed one hen, even had one foot raised. *I was thinking "that looks like a point" when he decided to just keep on hunting, so I thought "I guess*not". *I walked to the spot he'd just left and a hen flushed. *He's still trying to put it all together.*
Cash with first rooster of the day and Finn looking over*the terrain. *I let Cash hold the bird for a little while. *He loves to retrieve.
