A few sharptails that puppydog got me into the other day. What a great time of the year this is and how awesome is it to be out hunting with man's best friend. Smile

That is just an awesome pic!!!!!!!

You just gotta love hunting with a dog, all they care about is pleasing their master and chasing birds. My Black Lab is a great duck dog and we are going to try pheasants this year.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Sharptail hunting has been pretty tough in these parts due to a massive winterkill. Our pheasants are probably down about 80 percent or so also. We did manage one more sharptail a couple of days ago. Right now we are experiencing a mini-blizzard. Not quite ready for the snow stuff yet. I always carry a camera along when in the field. Right now I'm using a Cannon A550 which takes decent pics. Well, you all have a great season in the field. Smile

Added a pic of the last bird we were fortunate to find. Smile

Hey Moose...I usually hunt up north of Beach but had to cancel out on my guys this year. Glad I did, they got caught in that 21 degree, 1000 MPH wind. Killed some sharptail though before it turned cold.

THEN, they stopped in Bismark to put one of the guys on a plane, and while at church was invited to a ranchers place south of town for pheasant. The three of them killed 7 roosters with a bunch of missed birds in a couple of hours. They reported that pheasant numbers were WAY down south of Beach but this particular rancher had large numbers.

Wouldn't you know it...the very year I don't go....

glad I missed the wind and snow though. Gotta like that.

I live fairly close to Beach, and yes, that was a very miserable weekend. Haven't had many nice days this fall. Finally today it was beautiful. Got out late morning and shot a limit of roosters. Looks like today was the last nice day again for awhile. Very Happy
