Shot terrible. Dozen shells. 2 for 4 Crippled them both. 2nd one ended up pulling a Houdini. Wish I had brought a shovel. Not 100percent sure but I tend to believe her.

I bet anything that’s where he went , had the same thing happen several years ago in a weedy wheat feild , my friends wire hair started digging and barking , my French Brittany went in and came out with tail feathers , I sent my smallest britt in and she came out with a very lively rooster .

Hope your the last week of season goes well

We feel your pain; any experienced hunter has had more than one day like yours...like my son says, some days you're the hammer, some days the nail. Best to forget all about it and anticipate your next outing.

I had one of those earlier this year. Walked all day and blew the one chance I had. Hit him but not hard. never found him and the only place the dog was remotely birdy was at a hole. It was deeper than what my arm could reach so I gave up on it.

You win some. Lose some. Shake it off and get back after them... you still have a little time! This big storm coming might produce some opportunities for you to “get even”.

I slept on the floor of the schoolhouse with visions of rooster tracks in the morning. It just started snowing here. I have 3 eggs a pound of bacon and a pheasant. If this weather gets much worse I may end up having to eat my dog.

Ive always said Chessie’s are sweet, but I wasn’t referring to their meat!

Glad I’m not the only one that’s had a day like that. We’ve all been there.

Has it occurred to you that if you don't share that bacon, your dog might wind up eating YOU? As well he should.

Me! I’m pretty sure she’s the one who lost the bird! Oh and she did get some bacon,,,and an egg

I think that was a wise choice on your part. Bacon equals love in any language - but especially, in "dog".

When I was a kid we knocked a few quail down on a covey rise. Our shorthair cross that was the best dog for downed birds I've ever been around starts digging in a packrats nest. Dads dragging him back by his collar, yelling at him for chasing pack rats. Dog runs back to it, starts digging, ignoring the lecture being given him, and a few minutes later comes up with the live quail.

So did reality live up to your dreams?

So did reality live up to your dreams?

No it ended up basically being a half an inch of ice. They didn’t move at all. I think I only saw 3 sets of tracks. She put up 5 hens this morning and called it a day at 1 and drove home.

 

[Jet]

Oh well. Memories made with your pup anyways. And at least you had your dreams! The anticipation is half the fun.

Your weekend was about like ours. The only two we knocked down we couldn't find. We missed two other killable flushes. One more hunt...
