So, not Powell related, but I figured the post would be ok since the season is winding down.
I missed my fall trip so that we could go pheasant hunting. This is our 25ish trip to South Dakota. Dad, brother, and a solid group of guys went. Bird count is WAY down this year, but we still had a good trip. Averaged about 2 birds/person on Saturday and Sunday. The "W" kicked up on Monday and made life VERY difficult (W is my least favorite type of weather, regardless of what I am doing).
We hunt a mix of private and public. All wild birds.
Day 1 with dad. 28 birds in the photo. We added another 4 later that day.
Day 2 with dad and brother. About 30 birds in this photo, we added another 8 later in the day.
Can you tell the wind is blowing?
The line up.
My hunting partner. If you are a hunter, and haven't had a chance to hunt with a good pointer, you are missing out.
Most of the crew.
And a little nap between fields.
