Great outing Pugs! Here it is May 14, the COVID has knocked routine in the head and plans at this point are even unsure (‘course they always are). Yet, I’m already looking forward to our gang’s — a collection of college friends and kids — SD pheasant outing mid-December.

We rarely are entertained by the weather you picture here and one year we hunted in what was really a blizzard for a day. It was interesting as the shooting was often furious as far as we could see and almost all the SA’s began to fail. It was not “gentleman, bob white weather”. But “plains’ pheasant weather”? Yes.

I think we are going on seven, eight years of building tradition also. Almost seven months yet.
