3 hours, hunting new spots, nada. Zippo. 
Went back to the lil mesa I found two days back. 30min's in and BRRRRRRR! So I lightly chased two nice bunches off an on for an hour til I was pooped from shooing them back up on the mesa (read herding cats), then busting them,then going down and fetching them back up....ugh!, then I left them to regroup so as not to over-pressure them so maybe they will be there next time (firm believer is 2 passes max then leave them be for the next hunter).
Such wild and crazy action and just so much fun I can't stop smiling.
Missed 4.  Got 2.  Good enuf for a nice meal.

Thanks everyone, what a killer weekend of chasing stuff over hill and dale. I knew something was missing in my life, it was chasing birds through gnarly stuff. Whata thrill! My knees think my brains lost it! hehehe. The wee-ones are aging now in the cooler, then they are getting browned in oil then simmered in mild salsa and served on wild rice w/ caramelized veggies and stuff. YUM!
Slimmers I like that name! Grats on the new thunder-stick! Cannot go wrong with a Mossy for sure! Love mine!
Mornin' Bushboss! Stalls 'r mucked out 'n the second pot's on the fire!

Samson because it a 10-shot! Except when I put the 17" plut in the tubular magazine. I looks like an over-under. Its amazing how good a tactical/3-gun shotgun work in the field.
