Quail & Chuks

The Last few hunts have been a riot. I had some great points and some nice shots. My shooting is getting a lot better but I still need a lot of work. The dogs did great. Rip is a hard pheasant dog, she jus runs to big. So I took her out by myself and we didnt get anything. She did bump a big ole rooster. Louie on the other had killed it and gave us great shots at a few coveys of quail. I mangage to bring down a pair and my Dennis hit one. But what I have realized while I like pheasant & quail hunting nothing is like chukar hunting!!! I am a chukar hunter first. I love it, the physical challange, the steep terrain, to having a big running dog that works the ridges so well

Louie My Great Friend

Louie is the kind of dog that give it his all every hunt, actually with everything he does. Last year I almost lost him to a snare trap while out hunting. It scared me badly, but it also made me greatful for the friend that he is to me. This season I have thought over an over how lucky I have been to hunt with him and have him at home. He is still young and hopefully I have him for many years to come. I think it is important to step back and look at what you have and be greatful for your best friend/hunting bud. The season is not over and we are making it the best one yet.
