Well the operative word today was WIND. It sure can howl out on the prairies. Last night a couple of friends came in and this morning we went out hunting with them. Working this morning we got into a fair number of Sharptails although not much shooting for one reason or another. Moving spots I was able to knock down my first sharptail of the season. It was a young bird but not to many pin feathers to pull. Not to say I did not have any other opportunities to knock a bird down but after working all summer with planted birds it takes a bit to catch-up to these western birds. All in all a good morning.
Took Ivy and Gabby out in the afternoon. Ivy worked with me and Gabby worked for my Dad in separate covers. We had no bird contacts as the wind was severe although Ivy worked the wind nicely and handled like a dream even in the trying conditions. Gabby according to reports worked nicely and they had two separate groups of birds that got up just out of gun range. She also worked a running pheasant although not in season. Well at least the old dog has continued to have bird contacts.
