Some Days Just Go Better Than Others - Hunting Wild Pheasants - December 28 2022

This trip was fantastic and it probably ends my season. I walked 8.9 miles in just over 6 hours, and executed on my only 3 opportunities of the day. We saw a lot of birds, but the vast majority of them spotted us before we could get close. Echo and Josey did really well in locating the only birds that held tight.

I do regret taking the second-to-last shot on the last rooster. I was focused on the bird, and I didn't see Josey in my peripheral vision. Thankfully, we escaped without anything bad happening. This is the second questionable shot that I have taken over the last 3 seasons. That can't happen.

Colorado needs moisture.
