How’d everyone do?
My oldest daughter got her hunters ed finished a few weeks ago so my wife, daughter and I headed to the Sandhills of Nebraska for sharptails, chickens, and dove. We only were able to spare a day and a half this past weekend and hunted hard behind my two Llewellin setters. We were able to find two covies of sharptails. One held, one didn’t. We ended the trip with one beautiful bird and some pretty neat experiences(an awesome lightening show, a couple box turtle encounters, a couple ducks that needed some help). bird numbers seemed way down from last year. Food sources wereplentiful and every where along with rain and residual moisture, so I’m hoping they are just spread out more than usual right now.
Either way the dogs and I will be heading for sage grouse tomorrow after work.
