Made it out chasing pheasants this morning. I wanted to take my old female to an easy spot close to home. It's tree rows that were planted in CRP years ago. They plowed up the CRP last year on pheasant opener and planted corn. The corn is off now so figured this might be a hot spot.

I figured out quickly that my soon to be 12 year old pointing lab still has the will but not the stamina or agility that she used too. She stumbled over the gopher mounds and tripped quite a bit but she gave it whirl. We did not find any birds here but it was a beautiful 34* morning with ground haze and no wind. We had fun.

Here are some quick cell phone photos I took when we started:

Here she's getting pretty petered out:
