Sounds like a perfectly wonderful hunt to me!! Our annual hunt was changed from the second week of November to the opening week in October this year. We started with 12 hunters and dropped to 10 after one day due to death in a family. We then dropped to 8 at the end of day 4 due to necessity at home. So, all total, that group with jumbled numbers got a total of 75 roosters and two grouse during the 5 days of our hunt. We came away pleased because yes, the bird numbers were down, at least in Hand county. Oh, I forgot to mention, we also had 4 flushing/retrieving labs and one Muensterlander pointer and one German Short Haired pointer with us and they all performed wonderfully. Now, if we could have just hit the side of the barn with our shots we would have done at least a little better!! Of course, my story is that I had "bad shot" and I am sticking with it!!! Looking forward to next year, our 14th in a row.
