Still hunting! Mostly pheasants though. The freezer is full of venison thanks to the kiddos. I helped a little too
My 8 month old lab has been quite the hunting dog. After the first week of field training I figured I'd keep a log just to see how good she was. As of 2 weeks ago she was up to 95 flushes on pheasants and 8 grouse. Not counting a number of birds that didn't go up right in front of her nose. She sure makes upland bird hunting fun. Heck of all the dogs I've ever owned, all their lives combined, have never put up that many birds in PA....We normally have our limit in 15-30 mins. Course late season she has to work a little harder, so it may take her an hr or so to find two...but she's still finding them.
I have until Feb 22, would love for her to break 100 flushes her first season, and the rate she's goins, we should have that in about 1 to 2 more outings!
Santa bought me a new Grizzly Front rest for 1000 yard benchrest. In the process of acquiring a new bench gun (building or buying). That will be starting up before I know it.
No island trips this summer...going to build a garage, so I booked a beach house in the OBX last night.
Should have enough preference points for my Wyoming antelope hunt with dad this season...will be applying for that soon
That's personal...when it comes to business, well work is keeping me busy. Should be heading to Kansa here in Feb. Been looking forward to that
as if NW PA isn't cold enough in Feb, we have to drill wells in Kansas and head there in the coldest month of the year, lol
