Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game How about a photo of your success in the uplands this fall??

Mo better eating. I blew that sandwich right off the limb he was sitting on and he did a face plant right there. Should name a beer after him...

Glad to see you guys have been slaying some birds....

Indeed!


I took my dad's heeler dog for about a 5 mile CRP walk the other day and only jumped 3 birds. Didn't even get a shot off but still fun.

Got within about 40 yards of a bedded 4x4 mule deer before the dog sniffed him and scared the chit outta the deer.

Tres mas.

SamO,

I'm seeing lots of birds but not many deer.

Antelope still seem to be hurting too.

Damn SamO, you are some kinda good with that old Kodak.

Flave, you need to put a rubber mat on the floor of your truck to keep the beer bottles from rattling. Scares the birds.

Good photo, good looking Lab.

First bird this fall, and a pic of my hunting buddy and his dogs.
The ruffies are still in deep cover as of yesterday, the dogs put up seven birds but were very flighty and did not hold well.
by the time we got to them , most of them were flying!
Three held for us long enough to get into the thick stuff however.

Yesterday was the opening day of sage grouse season... We headed out to one of my favorite areas.. After a couple dry runs, Kate flushed a nice covey.. Two shots from the old 870 12 ga. field gun, and we had our limit for the day..
Federal 3 1/4- 1 1/4- 6's did a fine job.. Planned on taking the 20 ga. but the old 12 has been killing birds for me since '75..

This morning was pretty much a repeat of yesterday.. Hit a couple good spots nothing.. Then while driving to another area, Kate began whining.. She had her head out the window so I figured she smelled some grouse..

Got my 870 Trap gun out and loaded it with WW 3 1/4 1 1/4-4's.. We started off though the sage and didn't make 50 yards when she bounded the first bird.. As she was retrieving it, she hit the rest of the covey.. A second shot and we had our limit..

Nice birds- we can't hunt sage grouse up here, they have petered out in Alberta.
BTW, love that Wingmaster!

Nice shooting and guns WCH.

Sometimes a morning goes too good....

Enjoy the beautiful high country chasing grouse

Congrats and Nice pics guys. Let my new "best friend" out this morning before leaving for work and he decided to have some fun. Had cut some trees down and threw everything down the bank off the driveway. Thick puts it mildly, it is Rabbit/Groundhog central and NBF dove in and decided he was staying. Lot of yipping going on and one time I had a visual he was head and neck into a Groundhog hole. After 20 minutes I had to go in after him in my good clothes before something ran across the road.

In another 10minutes I had him. Clothes took a beating so had to change. Should have worn the Filson. Actually I'm an LL Bean guy, but don't tell Shrap; I don't want him to look down on me.

Keep it up, our season opens shortly and heading to Mich pretty soon.

Made work an hour late.

battue, what area of Mich. are you heading to?? My wife is from the Straits area. Pretty country, but too flat and swampy for this boy..
