My dog and I got out for a few hours earlier today - to chase chukar here in the hills of central Washington. What a wonderful day!

After a few failed attempts at closing on them, I managed to get up the hill and take two shots at a rising group of chukar, dropping two of them! I'm not that great of a shotgunner, so when I drop two, in two shots, I AM going to brag about it...

Clark the Dog worked hard and did real well. He found chukar, it was up to me to get up to them - and eventually I did. Then he found the birds I dropped. Too cool. It was hard work. I loved every second of it. And we've got a couple of chukar to eat, probably later this week.

They love rugged country. Took this while I was resting, after Clark brought me the two chukar, before we headed back to the Jeep, which was waaaay down below:

Jeep and Beretta - both work just fine!

Oh, and the Seahawks won while I was hunting! What a great day!
