Snow is on the ground....
Snow is on the ground....
Took the mutts out today to look for some elusive chukars, we knew we were close..
First find of the day, the covey was off the edge about 20 yards.
Second find, but they were on the move and he relocated and pinned them in some Cedars
Third and final find of the day
The sad and embarrassing part was we shot about 18-20 shots total and killed ZERO birds. They would come up, you would be sliding/falling and then I think I would just flock shoot at that point! Fun day, great dog work, horrible shooting. But still a fun time.

It's fun just to get out even if your shooting is not the best... Those pointers are hard to see in the snow! Great pics!

Re: Snow is on the ground....
After which shot did your dog look at you with disgust?

Re: Snow is on the ground....
That's funny maybe you should let the dog carry & you point oh wait a minute he would still give you disguting looks Elk.

Re: Snow is on the ground....
There was some cussing afterwards, each of us blaming the other one. It was some brutal conditions, steep with snow covered rocks. And I cant stress how hard it is to find a white dog on point, in the snow.

Re: Snow is on the ground....
Great pics, Elk. That is the best thing about these dogs at the end of the day they will still give you a kiss for a treat. I have been trying to get my wife to spend more time with Kona. Don't know that it will rub off, but you can't blame me for trying. I don't mind you putting the gun up and sending more pics.

Re: Snow is on the ground....
Josh I was out today also and I have found that if you go to Cabela's and buy one of there cheap orange dog vests they sure help in the snow. They are very light and don't overheat the dogs but usually don't last more than 2 seasons due to ripping. How were the target shooters on that end today? Loads of them like usual?
Re: Snow is on the ground....
Not bad, it was pretty wet and cold so I think they all stayed home!
Re: Snow is on the ground....
Right on, way to get after it! You got pellets in your shells?? I just ask cause I've had a lot of shells that they forgot to put pellets in 'em...
Tis the season for sure:

Nice pictures Doug, my buddies from work always get mad at me cause they say I am more worried about taking the "best" picture than I am about shooting. But I have realized I am better at pictures that with a gun....
