Thanks BW had 4 flushes in 5 hours, not great but acceptable. The secret is private land and young timber!

Great pics of the Gambel's, Daryl, and of you and the dog. It's been several years since I hunted Gambel's. I sure miss it. They get off the ground and up to full speed quicker than a wild bobwhite. I was amazed. I killed the first one I shot at, and no one was more surprised than me!

Stan, I , too, have noticed how fast the Gambles get up to speed. Much faster than a few years ago.

Elsewhere you mentioned your Vegas trip. We'll be at the Westgate a day or two early and will have a table in the Lefever group. Please do stop by.

It looks as if after all that hard work, the pup just doesn't want to let that bird go!

Sherburn National WIldlife Refuge, today. A nice, this years red phase grouse:



Taken off the second point on the same bird, Louise is getting the hang of wild grouse, something that some dogs never really figure out.
I've owned a few of those dogs. Loved them, anyway.
Louie was belled and had an E-collar on today, along with a blaze orange sleave. No snow on the ground, and she was very easy to see in the woods.
I really wish I had the camera in the woods, I'm guessing this bird held for three or four minutes before it broke, on the point I took the bird on. Spectacular points as well.
The gun is my Lefever Nitro Special in 16 gauge, 26" tubes with cylinder and modified chokes. The entire area is non-toxic only, and I was using some older Heavi-Shot 1 oz loads, at 1150fps, a really nice, comfortable, hunting load.
I own much, much, more expensive guns, but, days like today can make me wonder why.
Tomorrow is pheasant in the southern part of the state. Birds, make bird dogs.

Good luck, everybody.

Best,
Ted

Does she have markings other than on her head? Pretty dog; she's a desirable color for hunting in the thick; I see how she'd be easy to see in the woods. Gil

This statement is one I can easily relate to:
