Hope your first blessing of the New Year is Gus’s full recovery. He is substantially better, so far, so good. Got a long ways to go, yet. We are happy for every increment of improvement.

Hey all, well, this weekend is the end of the our season here in North Dakota. It was a good year, not fantastic, but good. Plenty of birds, and the weather was great! Not a lot of snow, warm for the most part. The big downside was the ice storm we got the day after Christmas. That made things tough. Hard to get around, had to watch every step you took or else you'll be on your arse (like me a couple times!.
The season for us started out with a bang and ended in a whimper. Went out yesterday and today and didn't bust a cap! The last couple weeks the birds have been exceptionally wild (pheasants that is) . Hens would hold, but the boy birds flushed well ver 50 yards away. We did get more Huns this year than the last couple years. Grouse were so so and pheasants were darn good.
The dogs did well, no injuries or issues with them. Addie is turning into a first class bird dog. Very happy with her. And Raina, the old hand did very well also. For a 10 year old dog, you would think she was 5 out in the field
As I said, a good year. No one got hurt, not problems with vehicles and had a wonderful time with my son Jim and my daughter Patty. My two best hunting partners.
Hope the weather holds and the spring is good for nesting. If it does, next season will be great.
Thanks to the good Lord and St Hubert for the blessings you showered on us!
Best Regards to all!
Greg

Late entry for this year. Finally got out on the Sussex Downs this morning and harvested this Fallow pricket with my left handed Ruger 77 Mark II in .30-06. Sorry it wasn’t taken with a double. The ammo pouch is a First World War British Officer’s pouch for revolver ammunition. I have trimmed the plastic inner from a Norma ammo box to fit. It now carries 20 rounds varying from .243 to 9.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer silently and securely.
