Katie pointing in a fence row.
Opening day's harvest.
Katie pointing a bird on the edge of a slough. She circled out in front and pinned him down which lead to a perfect flush, shot, and retrieve. It was a nice second year bird which I saved to be mounted; flushing along with another bird. I'm going to have the picture attached along with the date taken, etc.
Another day's harvest.
Most of the guys had given up on this draw and were headed back to the truck. I let Katie finish running down to the corner while I stood on the side of the hill and fooled with my Alpha receiver. The alert went off that she was on point and I could see her about 175 yards off standing nicely. I let some of the other guys go down to work the bird while I took a picture. My cousin's English setter came in and backed. The bird ended up having a broken wing and when it was flushed started running. Katie was released and ran the bird down and made a nice retrieve.
On the last couple hours of the last day I went off on a solo hunt with Katie. She ended up pointing two birds that turned out to be hens before sunset. There was no time to hit another spot before shooting hours ended so I took some time to set up a photo with the birds she had pointed that day.
On the way back home I stopped to pick up my new pup from Deseeker.
He's settling right in. Next year he'll get the opportunity to chase the big birds up on the high plains.
