A Bird Hunter's Thoughts

Watch out when you back up! Local guy told me they have fence posts 100 years old made out of this wood. Hunted duck today. Wind was 25-40 ...

I really like seeing the old buildings out here. I wonder who got married and buried here? The amazing things you see while driving around.

The old man, the dog Bo I mean, still has it. With the snow, the birds are holding tight. I won't mention the third where I was fumbling...

Haven't hunted near here for 15 years. I noticed while heading out that downtowns pretty much all look the same out here. It's comfo...

Across Old Man River. Officially on a hunting trip. Do you set benchmarks like that?

It didn't take long for me to leave my dog waterer along side the road. This was #3! One in AR, one in WI, and now one in GA- 150 miles...

Ace and Bo and Peaches and I are on our way to KS. Robert's been out there for 2 weeks and finding lots of pheasant but little quail. 2 ...

This is Nathan, Daniel O'Brien's young Lab. In one week of being on birds, he's a bird dog now. What a lovable hunting companio...

Ever apologise to your dog? I am sorry Ace for my poor shooting. There- I said it. Sheesh!

Nice day. Putting out now. We'll see.

28 deg. and wind at 30 kts ! Another peaceful hunting day on the plains. I went out this morning to let the dogs out and the first gust to...

Temp has dropped 7 deg in one hour and wind is steady at 25. kts. Tomorrow will be colder than a well digger's rear pocket. The good ne...

11 years old and he still has it! He shows me every day that a little gray on the muzzle doesn't mean you can't do the job. It'...

School is still out on the better pheasant dog. I hate to say it and I'm biased as all get out, but my Lab friends are shooting just as...

This is Nathan's first trip- and he's a good one. Just a young pup, he's doing it all.

We ran into some guys complaining about the birds jumping early and how hard it was to limit...guess they needed a good dog. We kidded each ...
