Once per year I like to take the dogs out to Onpoint Outfitters for a hunt. It's nice to see a different area and get the dogs on some birds. I had a few birds put out but there were plenty of extras for the dogs to find. We put up about 15 pheasants (had 3 put out) and 8 quail (had 10 put out). It was windy out and I think that made finding some of the quail a little tougher. Some of the birds really ran today but more than enough held for some good dog work. I shot some of the birds but I didn't need to take them all. Here are some pictures from the day:

Near the end of the hunt the dogs had a point in an area that was wet and had some small trees. Two roosters flushed and one came towards me on the other side of the trees. I shot and hit him but not very well. The dogs tracked the wounded bird and Blitz was pretty sure he was hiding under a fallen tree about 100 yards from where the bird went down.
Nittany wasn't as confident as Blitz and went deeper into the woods. From the top of the wood line I saw Nittany chasing a rooster around trees but the bird kept running and ran down a deep drop until I couldn't see the bird or Nittany. I walked towards them and I finally saw Nittany with the bird. We were about 300 yards away from where the bird first dropped. Here is Nittany bringing the bird back up:
