A Winter Wonderland-Part Duece

Post by Elkhunter » Fri Dec 21, 2012 6:55 pm

Snuck out of work to go explore the white unkown! And foolishly took a white dog for a stroll in the snow!

First find, Woody went off the radar on the Garmin so I hiked to the top and it said he was on point A LONG ways away. So I started the trek, and I hate it when ya gotta give up elevation! Suckers were halfway down the mtn on the other side.

Little closer

Produced this bad boy
Image
Second find of the day, luckily the same elevation! Gotta love a considerate dog like that!
Image
Been shootin fairly decent this year! As I found him, since Woody and I dont really see eye to eye on the whole retrieving game I had to play retriever.
Image
Beautiful birds I think, love em.
Image
20 degrees and blowing, he was waiting for me when I got there! Dont think he is a huge fan of wind and cold! And either was I, wife says I am crazy. :smile:

The days haul!

TT collar and his regular dog collar.

Thanks for the compliments! Sometimes I care more about a good picture than I do shooting a bird. :D

Nice cool morning for a hike! So had to give it a go.

Little gal ran off towards a saddle, we were searching for a buddies dog for about 10 minutes then I went looking for her. And heard the always lovely "Beep" of the Garmin. She was a ways off so I headed over there.

Found her standin.
Image

Love how her ears are always flapped over when she is on point!
Image

Kinda steep, gotta love a retrieve!
Image

Her prize, I love this little dog.

Those are some nice pictures you got. I think chukar are pretty birds and i think the amount of effort required to bag one makes them even more pretty. Your dogs sure got it going on.
Peace, it's what's for dinner!
