One last pic from the SD trip. I had an internet buddy come in to hunt. Some of you may know him but in this post he will remain anonymous. We just call this good old Southern boy scope eye. Despite the blood, fun was had by all parties. His first question when I picked him up at the airport was "where are we going to hunt deer? There is absolutely no place for them to hide out there." It did not take him long to figure out that the prairie may look desolate, it is not.

Today was the SC opener for doodles. High expectations were doused by high water everywhere. Four flushes, two down. Floyd's Sadie and Pop did the honors. For the first time in 10 seasons, we couldn't find the first bird which went down like a bag of rocks in relatively open cover. We looked hard and the dogs couldn't find it. In keeping with my Francophilia, the tailgate is on a Citroen baguette delivery truck. Our usual suspects:

My Churchill and I finally got a chance to connect today. Being unusually warm here this time of year makes for a pleasant day. Best wishes for all your hunting endeavors. Karl

I shot a goose today that was wounded and flew left to right about 250 to 300 yards from me but over a small rise in the field. Waited 20 min then walked over there with the dog and no bird to be seen. The dog tracked the bird from right to left about 400 yards before catching up with it. Wounded geese go walkabout, fast. And I expect many other species of birds do the same.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
