There's nothing better than a weekend full of wild birds. Michael Barnett took us out for some woodcock work today in Kentucky coal country and we ended up with 8 finds. Michael owns Lilly's and Pearl's dam and sire. In the video you can see their dam, Kate, showing them how it's done. Oh, and one last thing, my wife is better than your .

Hank has never been allowed to range like he wants to, mostly because I never had a way to keep track of him before. This GPS system has completely changed the way we hunt together in just a few short months. I let him run with no recall, he checks in as he sees fit. The result is 500-600 yd casts and a dog that spends more time hitting target cover rather than running back across a field to my recall.

Look who finally hit a growth spurt.

When the old fogies out-shoot you... this is my father-in-law and Robert Jones father with their Arizona slams. Mearns, Gambels, and Scaled quail all in one trip. So happy for these two!

We couldnt have asked for better weather or better company today. We hunted with Robert Jones, Gary Shaw, and a few others and it was 17 degrees when we started this morning. We split up into 4 groups and all covered different areas. Everyone found birds and had great opportunities, 10 covies total, I think. I shot a mearns for the first time over my brother's setter pup, Pearl (and yes I made sure to snap a photo first). She finished the day with 2 covey finds and Sadie had one.

Yesterday, while hunting mearns, my setter Hank and I encountered a huge javelina. I heard Hank yelp as the pig headbutted him and knocked the wind out of him, then it turned and ran in my direction. I shot it twice at 25 yds with my 20 gauge (saved my third shot in case I really, really needed it). It stumbled and continued running until completely out of sight. It barely seemed to be affected by the bird shot at all. On the other hand, I dont think I would have had time to draw a pistol and shoot. The 20 gauge definitely didnt kill it, but it made him think twice about running in my direction. Luckily Hank wasnt hurt, only a little shooken up and sore.

Another great day in southern AZ. We found 4 covies, two of which my brother's 1 year old setter nailed. I cant wait to see what that pup does in the near future, and cant wait to rest my tired feet tonight.

We put in the miles today, and it was so worth it. We finished out the day with 5 covies and a few in the bag. Also, the weather was much better today too, cool with no rain.

Who would have thought we would drive all the way to AZ just to get rained on? We still hunted, but couldnt make it to any of the spots that we originally wanted to hunt. Hopefully the roads dry out a bit tomorrow.
