Prairie Grouse
Got some time on the Prairie with Spud last week. Had some tough days (cold, high wind, rain and spooky grouse flushing wild at long ranges) and some better days (low wind, sunshine, grouse holding for points). Loved it all. Spud put in an average of 21 miles a day at 10 MPH, hunting on a run, same the 5th day as the first. I gave out before he did.
Black Spec in the center is Spud out digging for grouse.
Pointing a small group of Prairie Chickens. Letting my dog roll over those Prairies is such a joy.
Single Sharptail

So much to enjoy on the Prairies

Great pictures! Looks like a fine time.
What state is that? Besides the 'state of joy', I mean.

I smiled when I read your post saying, " Spud put in an average of 21 miles a day at 10 MPH, hunting on a run, same the 5th day as the first. I gave out before he did." That has always been my thought when we get into one of these stamina discussions when talking dog food. Makes me wonder if the dog and I need to switch dietsaverageguy wrote:You know it!Sharon wrote:That's what it is all about , isn't it.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Ezzy, I relearned a tough lesson on this trip. Let myself get dehydrated and ended up hopping around the motel room with horrible leg cramps one evening. Spud thought I was nuts. 3 Bananas (morning, noon, afternoon) and 4 flavored waters/Gatorade a day for me after that episode.
