The Mountain Quail portion of the trip...

Well, this part was educational to say the least. We saw some great scenery and hipunt d in some beautiful country.  We spent a lot of time near clear cuts. We saw one single, two covets and had a few points on the quail. We took 1 bird, I was the guy that got the bird,

Waterfalls while hunting!

A quick hunt in the snow.

The weekend before thanksgiving weekend I snuck out in the snow.  It was a wild and wooly hint.  Tracks everywhere, pheasant flushing wild.  We were able to scratch one rooster down.  I didn't take any shots on wild flushes.  

This old boy was full of Russian Olives

Harley and Milly locked up on about 20-25 pheasant. 

Dad, Nick, Dana and I went out and shot 4 roosters early. Jazz, Ranger and Annie were pinning em down really well. Dana even got a rooster this year.

Idaho and a Oregon 2014 part 2

We spent a day chasing chukkar and the last part of the day trip on quail in eastern Oregon.  Of course, I didnt take enough pictures we did okay on chukkar. The main area we went to hunt had been destroyed by fire. 

Milly, she had an amazing point on a covey I doubled on.  This isn't it.

Idaho and Oregon Trip 2014

We ended the day on valley quail.

Cold wet day

Had plans to hunt with Kuta....the weather didn't let me keep going.  I turned around and stopped  and hunted a spot on the reservation on the way back.  Saw lots of birds. They were nervous and wild. 

Chukkar Hunt

I took a lunch break and went hunting on a hill just off the freeway on the way home the other day.  The dogs hunted well.  I doubled on a covey that all 3 of them either pointed or honored.  Never found the 2nd. 
We found the same covey 3 more  times.  I just couldn't hit anything to prove it. 

Limit of Roosters

This was actually from last week....Had a great day in a spot where I flush the birds out of the cat-tails and go hunt em out of the fields.  I actually got a point and retrieve out of he cat-tails from Harley.  Jazz and Milly ponyed bird number two (Milly retrieved) and Harley and Milly teamed up for bird #3, Harley tracked him down and retrieved, when I thought I might lose him.   It was a phenomenal quick bird hunt!

The long tail was just over 24 inches.

Conservation time...

Lee, Jordan and I went on a quick Saturday hunt. We shot a Rooster I didn't get a picture of.  However I did get me a Coyote with 1 shot.

Lone wolfing it on one of my favorite walks!

Well I was on my own this year going on one of my favorite walks.  I could've used a 2nd gun, but still had a great time.  We got two Ruff grouse, a sharpie, and a Limit of Phez.  Dogs were great, shooting was as good at times as it was bad.  All 3 dogs pointed a sharptail, had some good honoring on Roosters, and one really well hunted Ruff grouse.   

Sharpies and Ruffies while chasing pheasant

We had a great day hunting Pheasant.  While we didn't get close to the roosters, we pointed some hens and better yet we pointed sharpies and Ruffies.  I also found a nice moose shed on the walk.
