Shooting at Addieville
Went shooting at Addieville yesterday.
Great day - sunny, in the 40's.
We had 15 birds. They put out 9 in first stocking in fields 4 and 5. We pointed 7 of the 9, couldn't find the other two.
Argus did great - three of the birds flushed after he pointed, before I could get in position.
Here are some pictures of him resting between stockings.
We then went out after the second stocking. They put six in just one field - I think 4 - on the left.
We found them all - got a double on Huns. With just one bird left, a chukar, we were hunting and Argus was circling over some territory we had covered multiple times. He kept doing smaller and smaller circles until he eventually focused on one patch of grass. I couldn't see anything in there. Well, I just said - hunt 'em up - and he flushed a hen peasant - must have been left over from the first stocking. Great job Argus.
Walking out, I didn't think we'd find the last chukar. So I let Argus just free range. Well, he ran back into some corn that we had hunted through multiple times. Well, this time, he pointed, and I could get in position - the last chukar. so we got 7 birds out of a 6 bird drop. Here are some final pictures.
