Oh man, that was a great hunt last week. Only time I went out all year by myself and it was awesome. Just thoroughly enjoyed myself. All year it has been really good. I only went out once and got skunked, and that was a 45 minute dash out to a hot/cold spot. Dog did good. I might upgrade her to great pheasant dog. She was hovering all year at the uppper end of good, but i might up it to just barely into the great category. I doubt she will ever attain "Awesome" or the pinnacle "Once in a lifetime" designations, but she just plain got the job done this year. Her retrieving is still suspect, but she finds them and brings them partway back.
Do you hunt public or private up there? I have always wondered how far north they go.
I just put a call in to a guy who is the Clay CO Pheasants Forever President. I will ask him how the hunting was for him up there.
What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.
