Hi all, nice haul again Aussie, hope your shoulder is feeling fine!! As I said impressive. Oh, thanks for the kind words earlier BTW.
Anyway, Chuck Heald and his lovely wife Lynn were out for a short hunt today prior to them going to the "Other" Dakota. We were supposed to hunt yesterday, but the 40mph + winds put that to a halt. We did see birds, but not as many as I've seen prior to today, don't know if the high winds we had the past 2 days spooked them or what. We did flush some grouse, but they were a bit wild.
Even with the lack of birds I really had a great time. Chuck and Lynn are super folks who made the day a joy!! Thanks Chuck and Lynn!!! Chuck's 2 dogs were great and lots of fun to watch, but boy does Sky (his Pointer) have energy!! WOW, watching her run was amazing. We did each manage to get a bird a piece, so all was not lost.
Here's Chuck, Jasmine (his lab), Lynn and Sky and my dummy! Chuck was using his .410 Parker Repro:
I was using my 16ga Arrieta 871:
Hope Chuck and Lynn come back soon, sure did enjoy the hunt!
All the best!
