Default Weekend of bird hunting

I'm not much for rifle hunting so I decided to spend the weekend chasing birds with the dogs. Saturday morning started off great! The first three birds the dogs got up were roosters and all went in the bag. Before I got out of the field (walk-in CRP) the pup (2 years old this Friday), locked up and pointed another rooster that I happily watched fly away cackling. Ended up flushing another rooster before I got out of the field.

Saw some antelope that morning too. Here are the pics:







Hey, look over there....


Sunday I went out pheasant hunting with BDowner. We were walking a small corner near a standing cornfield when the dogs started getting a little birdy. I looked up ahead and there was a flock of turkeys sneaking out the end into the cornfield. I yelled at Justin and we headed toward them. By the time we got there, only one turkey was still in sight. Justin had shot his first turkey just a couple weeks ago so I let him have first shot at it. The tom took off flying and Justin nailed him out of the air. I don't think the dogs quite knew what to think of it.

Turned out to be a great tom! Probably weighed about 20 pounds, had 1 inch spurs and the kicker - 3 bears! One was 10", the other two were 7". We managed to get a couple of roosters to boot. It was a great day!

LOL. So the real question is - did I forget a "d" or was the "a" supposed to be an "e"....

Good catch DA!
