Well I just went out this morning. I was out about an hour 1/2 and got 1. The newly fallen snow helped keep them tight...or so I thought. The one I got was in a little clump of grass on a ridge next to an old railroad bed that is part of a public area near my home.My dog pointed it and I flushed from the obosite side.Took is after a2nd shot and a little bit of searching on the dogs part.At the end of that path there is a field and a large pile of brush. The dog was searching one side and about 6 or 7 hens and roosters flushed from the other side. I coouldn't tell hens from roosters as they flushed and by the time I I.D.ed them they were out of range. I could have hunted a bit more but the icey snow was a bit hard on my dogs feet since I didn't condition her very well this year. I figured I will hit it again tomarowand see what I come up with.

Oh I also saw an Owl that the dog scared out of a tree. The thing looked like it was ready to attack. AS it swooped back an forth near me me. I think if it hadn't seen me it would have attacked the dog. Pretty neat I thought.
