I sometimes forget just how beautiful the country is, how beautiful the birds and dogs are, and what a privilege it is to share all these things with good friends. All photos are courtesy of Coral Studer, a fine professional photographer from Bonner's Ferry , Idaho. She walked along with her husband, Brad, and friend, Pat .
Hammer guns used were a Woodward 12 bore, a Scott Premier 12 bore, and then a hammerless Lajot 16 bore. I think we'll choose to use hammer guns again and again.
After the hunt, my wife, Anne, and I prepared dinners of pheasant marsala, and pheasant picante. A wonderful way to enjoy a meal of those birds. Of course a Rhone wine and others to go with.
Finally, it is nice to be reminded of how beautiful those birds can be. All wild in country as pretty as they are.
