Had a great weekend chasing pointers chasing quail and pheasants in the morning and waiting for whitetails in the snow in the afternoon with Slyfox.
Maybe Dano will help me post a pic of Slyfox with one day's bag. We ended up with three roosters, 8 quail and a mallard for the weekend. Slyfox did his usual skilled shotgunning and I wish I had the time to tell you about the astounding greenhorn mistakes I made like pulling the trigger on a flushing rooster with the safety on or missing the first shot on another one and short-shucking and jamming my pump gun trying for a second shot. Ah ... the things memories are made of.
It was my first ever outing after quail and pheasant I'm hooked.
Watching an older experienced dog and a first year pointer work the birds was amazing. All in all an awesome weekend with great company.
