Thunderstorm's and a hint of Fall

Not much substance to this post...great condition's have made for prime dog work and Eric and I have been obsessed with locating new spots and checking on old one's. All I can simply say is....it's gonna be a great year. we continue to have many contacts on both Sharptails and Partridge and this past weekend's temps were in the low 60's with a little rain for drama.






Darby continues to get some reps...

Duke decides he can get a little closer without bumping the covey.


Darby joins....the covey held super tight....you can't tell here but this covey/brood held 20 birds...

Darby with the assist...

Duke found a single young bird here....which is tough. He continues to impress me at 1 year, Eric has done a good job with him.

Big country...

Beautiful country....

Bombers in an unlikely spot....

Deke with a covey find....he's slowing down this year but is still wise...

The flush....even with a bunch of peepers, they're still very vocal....here Momma leads the bunch to sanctuary.

Teigen with a Sharptail find in the deep, green cover....

The youngster pokes his head out....

The flush on a single, tight holding bird.....

Still finding broods in the bottoms, where there's plenty of food, cover and safety....

Just 13 more days!
