Hey all, some great pictures and stories, keep them coming! Went out today solo, perfect hunting day, cool, light winds and overcast. Couldn't ask for anything more.....except birds! Just one of those days. Only got up a couple hens and one bunch of Huns. Oh well! Addie did very well, all birds were pointed by her, she's doing great!

Got one Hun and used my 12b Samuel Allport.

Greg,

Lovely gun, and nice to see a gun Samuel Allport put his own name on.

He made an enormous amount of very distinctive Rook rifles for the trade, both centre hammer and hammerless, for everyone from Purdey downwards.

Sadly most have now become single shot .410 shotguns, but that may have saved them from complete destruction when rifles were put on to Firearm Certificates in 1920.

Hey all, left work a bit early today so only had about a hour to hunt. Saw a lot of birds, almost all hens. Did have a couple rooster that flushed wild. Raina was able to pin one done however. So, one in the bag.

I used my 12b Cogswell & Harrison Konor today

A nice mature 25" wide South Dakota 3x4. He has lots of mass, very thick beams.

They must not count brow tines there, Steve. Over here that'd be a 9 pointer.

Nice. About 240?


May God bless America and those who defend her.

True, out West we do not count brow tines on Mule Deer. I'm not sure how much he weighed, heavy loading him in the truck that is for sure. A really fun stalk, he was with another 8-10 deer, smaller bucks and does.

First run of the morning I took Lucy up a short weedy draw, she flushed a nice old rooster up out of some cattails and the first bird was down. A little farther up the drainage we went into a patch of head high cover and a pile of birds blasted out the other side, a young rooster held tight and we quickly had our second bird of the day. I had to work a bit for the last bird of the day, Several runs with each dog and a few hours later Tucker flushed a young Rooster out a weedy drainage and I brought him down but only a wing was broken. A full speed pursuit into the cut sunflowers ensued and Tucker came out with my final bird of the day who was intact but minus his tail. It was a beautiful day of pheasant hunting with great weather.

Hey all, went up to hunt an area I haven't hunted in awhile. Was disappointed. All the good cover and hot spots either had cows in them, grazed over or tramped. Did manage to get a couple in a couple areas that were unspoiled. The drought we had really took a toll on some good cover.

I used my 16b John Wilkes today
