Trent Yokely brought out his young brittany Duke out for some work on some pheasant.  We tried to hide from the wind down in the East Bottom Field, but it still found us and got the pheasant up and moving.  After hunting the pheasant, I added in a few chukar to give Duke a few more points on birds that weren’t running.

Bob Dasenbrock came out with his friend Clint Elam and his setter, Libby for a quail and chukar hunt.  They really cleaned up the birds from the Clubhouse Field, they came back with a couple extra quail and a few pheasants, awesome hunt.

Charlie Durbin set up a hunt with his friends, Darrell Ahlf and Mike Kuhns.  Darrell brought along his setter, Candy to find the quail and chukar in the Clubhouse Field.  Candy did a nice job finding the coveys and chukar doubles, but is was a beautiful, warm, spring afternoon so I got Ava and Doo out of the kennel to help clean up on the singles.

Trent Yokely brought out his new brittany, Duke, along with his friend Brian Cox to get on some pheasant and chukar.  Lane Cox came along to make sure they all did the hunting right.  Duke did a nice job finding the birds I spread around the East Bottom and they came back with most.

Greg Presson, Duffy Cleland, Helen Edwards and Ryan Kelley came out to run their young chocolate lab on some pheasant and chukar.  I set their birds in the milo strips in the East Bottom to give the young lab her best chance to find and flush all the birds.  She did such a good job, they decided to do the hunt twice.

Mike Severe set up a hunt for his friends, Earl Taylor, Rick Highcock, and Dan Butler.   I set out a pile of pheasant, chukar and quail in the Clubhouse Field and my cousin Jeff, brought out the dogs to find the birds.   Sol and Mac got the start, then a break for some hot coffee and to restock the field.   Doo and Curly finished the hunt.  I caught a few rises on video, including a really nice covey rise toward the end of this video.

Bo Baer set up a hunt with his friends Gary Dodillet and Mark Mitchell.        I filled the Clubhouse and East Bottom Fields with pheasant and chukar and then got Sol and Mac out to find them.  The dogs found most of the birds, they harvested some and scattered some.  I got Ava and Doo out to find the wayward birds  and after a nice morning in the field, they ended up with a mess of birds.

Travis Devall took his young pointer, Sadie, out for a little refresher on some quail.  Sadie found the singles and doubles around the Clubhouse Field and got steadier with each find.

Tim and Ron Ridderbos came out for a pheasant and chukar hunt.  Travis Devall got out his two setters, Patches and Zip, to find the big birds in the Clubhouse Field.  Beautiful day to be in the field, some nice dog work and getting all your birds, made for one great hunt.

Colton Wilkins came up with a couple of buddies, Tyler Butts and Cole Armstrong to hunt some pheasant and chukar.  He brought along his two shorthair, Preacher and setter, Bama to find the birds in the Pasture and Clubhouse Fields.  Great hunt, lots of birds and shooting and they didn’t leave any in the field.
