There were plenty of birds, NV blue grouse, but the shooting was tough.

Owen and I got five rises of one to four birds on our short hunt today in the central NV high country, but we came home with only one bird, a nice young hen.

Owen and the dogs flushed three birds above me, and this one came by close enough for a good opportunity in an open area.

The 16/16/7X65R Dural Kreighoff Trumph handles like a light well-balanced double. laugh

Rosie was great at her first foray on wild birds, and our blues are wild and strong fliers. I thought I had cold cocked this bird, but I couldn't find it. Owen brought Rosie down off the hill, and she immediately acted birdy about 30' from where I was sure it went down. She dragged a flopping grouse out from under a sagebush I had walked by 4-5 times. wink

She is a natural with a very good nose and is worth training! I'll want a pup out of her for my grandson.

l2s,

Thanks for the story, Always cool to hear about folks having fun with their classics. And so glad to hear Rosie is coming along! And the boy gets to do something enjoyable too.

Pretty special day I'd say,

Nice job. I've already have next Sept booked for hunting near Elko.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.

It always amazes me how these dogs can stay calm and on track with gun shots going off.

Good hunt, dog, gun, and the best partner, man. That is part of the good life.
