Those are all really nice photos. I think the lighting was great and the colors just jump out at you. Great composition and content. Good job!
 
Thanks folks!
One rooster in the top pic landed in the creek. Dead as can be, the old Lab was after it leaping off the high bank at about 6 feet. Steep muddy sides he could not get out. Would not drop the bird, I walked calling him along for a couple hundred feet to a lower spot, he climbed out dropped the rooster by me and as happy as could be said "lets get more":)

Talking about snakes. Worst times are after cool nights, then the warm sunshine in the afternoons, dang things come out to warm in the sun.
 
About what I expected

Birds...few and far between.
Dog.....Absolutely amazing......to see that he is getting the quartering idea and being able to sit him still even while on a "Hot scent"
 
In the Mission Valley whre I am we have more ducks and geese than we want---easy access check regs for Flat Head Reservation---just takes an extra $15 conservation stamp to go with Montana liscense---The Nine Pipes area by Charlo-----also Pheasants with lot's of state--fed and tribal ground to hunt

What's the (un)official word on the Ninepipes area? I live in the Flathead and would love to get my hunting buddy and my dog out into that area if it's worth it to drive down there. Can't seem to find anything up here. My dog hasn't even put anything up yet. I feel I'm wasting her potential by working her stubby tail off and not finding anything. Would love to know about other areas like the Ninepipes and others that aren't too far off!!
 
Ahhh yes,:) I'm heading out as soon as I get the pop up on the pickup Thursday morning. It's about 14 hours for me. Friday will walk for pheasants then down to the breaks for deer and Elk.

Hey JS, did you see the weather for Malta next week? PERFECT FALL WEATHER!:10sign: Hope we cross paths:thumbsup:
 
Best of luck to you both, on your hunts in Big Sky Country. :)

Mnmt Can't wait for your report on the once in a life time Elk tag you have drawn. I'm so jealous:eek::D
