3 days in Nebraska. Swung and missed three roosters, on great tracks and points by the lil dude, on our last day or else we woulda had a nice mixed bag. Pup found every bird we put down and didn't hesitate to charge the frigid water. One helluva tired and very happy pup.

Lots of great pics. Since the Oct 9 opener, I've hunted uplands for 6 days. Lots of quail. Very few chukar/Huns. Killed my buck yesterday, so ducks are the primary focus til the end of January. A few pics.

Season starts the 15th for quail here in NM. Not seeing many birds here in the southern part of the state. But have been working the dogs behind the house with our resident covey. This will be the Weimaraners first year hunting.

Finally ran into some decent numbers of woodcock yesterday. Had my friend bring his dog from a few hours away to get her on birds, better habitat by me, she found us 5-6 woodcock but no shots as her prey drive got the best of her and she was only flash pointing.
Really wish I could hunt on Sundays. Beautiful day and I know the woodcock should still be there today. I will be hunting my guy the next two mornings and my plan is to run him in areas we found woodcock in the spring.

@Ten Bears great photo!
Our season starts Aug 10th, and August was really wet here, not good upland hunting but we put on a lot of miles anyway.
Humans did 15 miles this day, dogs' GPSs logged 40 miles.
They hunted hard until the very last yard.
When it dried out a bit, the hunting got a bit better. Some young ptarmigan here, mix of rocks and willows.
September was mostly for waterfowl
But we did road trip up north to try to get a grouse Hat Trick in a day. Some others in our group did get the hat trick, but I only got a ruff and sharptail this day, of all the birds to not find I can't believe I couldn't locate a spruce. We're usually thick with those things.
October was big game hunting.
Now it's November and the snow has finally arrived so I can hunt on skis again. This is my preferred way to upland hunt, fast and smooth and putting the "up" in upland. I'm on the hunt for the ptarmigan hat trick: willow, white tail, rock in a single ski loop. Got 2 out of 3 yesterday, whitetail and willow.

Now that’s an epic looking season and backdrop
Nothing for upland or for waterfowl yet. I will get out next week hopefully.

The quality of Pics and the details wins post of the year in my opinion. That is complete awesomeness.

I am envious, our widgeon and pintails are usually long gone before they start showing plumage like that. Not to mention they are excellent on the table.
Great picturesCouple good days chasing rooster in between hunting elk in NM. Back after grouse the next few days
