Pheasant Hunting in Colorado, January 31, 2021

The ending to this video is something I've never seen before.

My three Brittanys, Lily, Charlie, Tori, and I took to the field last Sunday at Rocky Mountain Roosters for a little pheasant hunting.

The hunting was fantastic! We saw up to two dozen birds. I got three and took a shot at probably five more. But they were wearing their Kevlar vests and flew off. There were hunters next to me who also were affected by the Kevlar vests and we ended up playing pheasant pong for the morning.

It was a bright sunny day and the temperature approached 50 degrees so it was quite pleasant.

Lily, the youngster at two years old, got out of the crate first and has a really nice point to start off, which at the beginning of the video. But then she got a bit jittery and ended up flushing a couple. Finally, she settled and had a solid point on a rooster.

Charlie is always rock solid. He's on point in the intro. I was joking with the other hunters that Charlie will sometimes go on point and say, "Dad, there is a bird over there...Yeah, just this side of the Utah border." When Charlie is on point you sometimes have to do a little searching for the bird. He will have points up to 60 yards away! Crazy! When he was younger I'd call him off of points thinking it was a false point only to come across the birds 40-50-60 yards down the line.

Tori, the oldest at five, is the most independent-minded one. She has her own ideas about hunting and thinks that it'd be more fun sometimes if she just chases down the birds. We worked on "Whoa" a bit, which you'll see a bit of in the video. She came around and ended up having the last point of the day on a hen that was on a frozen lake.
