Hey all, well today was a good day, got a mixed bag of Pheasants and Huns. Raina did a nice job today, she tracked one down and got him when I thought he was lost. Can't complain about the day. I used my 12ga Siace 350G (Self Cocking Ejector gun)  Best, Greg

Greg, I don't recall seeing you posting photos of Huns in the past. How common are they in your area? Gil

Francis, saw the photo Raimey posted for you in the other thread. Looks like you and Brad had a good day.
BTW, Happy belated birthday!

Walking the two track on the South end of the property I had the gun in just the left hand when a small covey of bobs got up on my three o'clock at about 15 yards. Just had enough time to get the gun up and almost pick one bird out of the group. Pulled the front trigger and 3/4 oz of 8's connected, sending a small puff of feathers floating in the 18 mph wind. Went to where the birds got up and Cocoa got the command to "find dead," with the stiff wind at her back. I was sure the birds went to my 2 o'clock, but she went down a ravine to my 10 o'clock. Came back strutting in about 10 seconds with the bird in her mouth. Never would have found it without her.

They do range the state, but the population is low. A few years back, you could find them more, but a couple hard winters, knocked them for a loop. I was just lucky to bust a couple of coveys that got up in range. Best, Greg

 Gotta bring this thread back to the top of the heap, fellow hunters! This is where I hunt grouse in NC on the TN border. Elevation is just under 4,000 ft. The Black Mountains are in the distance. The arm is a 16 bore DMB. This is the site of the only 12-bird flush I have ever experienced. Where was my autoloader? My dog is a WPG out of NorthStar Kennels in Michigan.

Nice picture Mr. Owen. That's some wild looking country. I'm impressed with the David McKay Brown and love the wirehair. I don't have a DMB, but I do have a GWP named Willy...Geo

Thursday was my first upland game hunting experience. I had a great time. Released pheasants at Johnson Sauk Trail State Park in Illinois. Flushed these two out within 15 minutes of each other on my last drive before calling it a day. Stoeger Uplander 12ga. 26" IC/M barrells. Kent Fasteel 3in with 1 3/8 oz of #4 steel.
