Just got back. Searched for her all day, and no sign. Thought I caught a glimpse of some pointy (not spaniel) ears popping out of the sage headed the other way just in the area I lost her ... but can’t be sure.
Saw a coyote on the way in about the same place I smoked one yesterday.
Ran into a couple of coveys, shot my share, Jet really coming along great, wearing her new Garmin collar with no ill effects.
Took a dink forky (a definite shooter in this Cali zone) at last light. Wanted to fill my tag as I have OOS plans. Got him tagged and prepped up, got home and cleaned quail.
Ready for bed.
Everybody is still on high alert, but ...
It’s been six days.
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine
