It has been some time since I was even remotely active here, but those who know me, know I vanish for about half the year for a joyous occasion we call bird season. There were ups and downs and one break down that resulted in a new travel rig, last minute, to enable me to go on the final road trip of the season.

There was also the matter of me moving during the early part of bird season, although most of the move occurred during summer. I bought my parent's place (no more mortgages!) and it feels good to be truly home, where I learned to hunt in the surrounding hills. Hunting here in Wyoming was spotty, but some the spots were plenty good enough.

North Dakota, the place I consider my second home, was pretty kind to me, mostly due to far fewer hunters (pheasant numbers down for a 4th year will do that) and a surge in grouse numbers. New Mexico and Arizona were also hit and miss, but the highlights were great and the averages not bad either.

Anyway, on to the photos everyone looks forward to each year:

Always enjoy your pictures and posts. Always wanted to ask - what breed is your dog? I love his disposition in the pics!

WyoChukar,

Great pictures of your hunts this season, always look forward to you posting them for us. Our Grouse and Woodcock seasons were very disappointing here in Pa this year,
way to much rain and we lost a lot of young birds to the wet cold days early on.

Welcome back buddy!

all the best,

Pine Creek/Dave
