Awesome! I'm glad some guys are getting out and moving some birds around.

I couldn't resist going to some nearby WIHA this morning cause I LOVE hunting in the snow... Dog does too.:D The snow was already 3" deep and sloppy when we arrived, with giant flakes coming down at a 45 degree angle. Visibility was probably less than 200 yards, maybe less than that with all the spots on my glasses. It was also quiet as a church on Monday. Just a beautiful day to be out wandering around!:D

She managed to locate a 15-bird covey and we moved them around a bit. I don't shoot at quail very often, and hit them even less. But she did point a single I just couldn't pass up. She locked down on the most intense point she has ever made. There wasn't much cover so I kept looking at her to relocate. She crept forward about 25' until her nose almost touched a mound of snow the size of a softball... The grass and snow had formed a tiny little snow cave. I took a step and,,, PRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, bang, retrieve. And IMA one PROUD dog owner!:D The whole scene was the most perfect hunting moment I've had to this day. Probably won't see anyting better until I get to watch my kids do the same thing.:D

We found a couple more after that but let them go without a shot. That WIHA gets pounded, so I didn't want to get greedy... Will post a pic of dog and bird tomorrow. Kinda wish I had a video of the whole encounter. What a memorable moment! Too bad I got CRS, LOL.:rolleyes:
