RE: team 19 check in
Hey folks,
Finally clearing the fog out of my head and getting pictures ready to post. Its been a long season for me, the longest every, I got a lot of hunting in, and managed to do 1/2way decent as well. Got to make it everywhere but 1 state that I planned, WY, ya'll are welcome to come over for a cup of tag soup if you wish. Sorry I haven't been posting but between hunting and work travel I've had scarce computer time. Thanks to God I was able to hunt 7 states and harvest 7 birds this year.THe score for my first bird in GA back in March still stands as my best, but I'm going to now attempt to post some pictures of the others;
ps. I hope to get back online and share some stories like the 3 different poaching situations that got in my way this year, the BIG snowstorm out west and the 6 inches of rain in 12 hours that we went through in KS.
Hope to talk to ya'll soon, and an unofficial congrats to everyone on Team 19 for taking home the Gold this year!!
Here goes;
First two in Georgia 3.23.08
Then another in Georgia the following morning 3.24.08
Then we go to the Texas Panhandle, 4.7.08
Then on to my homestate WISCONSINfor a 30 minute hunt (in an area I know well), this bird got kinda wet and I didn't get the best picture either cause I was in a hurry to drive the 580 miles over to Southern OH where I got SKUNKED!!
After getting skunked in OH and taking a week to go to work, it was on to NE where I got skunked AGAIN! BUT, in SD I got to shoot this nice Merriam in the snow!
And finally, after 2 more weeks of work I was fortunate to head out to KS with a dear friend and bag one more, gotta love the tail on this one, didn't know it was like this because he came in silent and walking but MAN he must have been in some BRAWLS, only 4 tailfeathers left out of 16!
