We,the dogs and I, spent most of the day working on gill nets in the shop near the wood stove. The forecast calls for rain till Tues. That will probably be the next hunting opportunity.
I try to hunt a couple times a week on horse back. This helps them to stay in shape,and it's a nice change of pace. The dogs love it also because it is all in CRP. I let them run out much further, up to sixty yards. On a horse one can see the dogs better, and when they go on point I can get up to them quicker than on foot.
These CRP fields are three or four hundred acres or larger. So finding birds is much harder. Pheasants in our part of the country need overhead protection of low brush and trees because of all the large hawks. At least that's my theory. That isn't to say that there aren't some out there, just not as many. Expect more Tues. evening. Have a blessed Christmas Sunday celebrating our God's arrival on earth .
