Who's all

I will be in Dalhart. Rain or shine

Not this weekend but leaving Thursday morning.

Its showing 100% chance of rain

Next Friday for us.

I'll be hunting every weekend and some weekdays!!!

It's the day I wait for, for 11 months. I will be out!!! This weekend, all of them after this one, and plenty of days in between!

You guys are nuts.

Hey Bill, it's the panhandle, I don't put much stock in weather reports that say 100% chance of rain!

This time of year it may be frozen precipitation

Go time in spearman.

I'm headed to spearman also good luck yall!!

When the great flood happened, the panhandle got 2"...

Spearman for us as well!

So, how was it?

It's very wet. We killed two roosters and a dozen quail in one lake bottom. Quit at 9 to dry out

Wet!!! Cold!!!

But it was a pretty good day. Had a limit by 1:00 even after getting a late start. Real proud of my young pup, he hunted as good as I could have asked for his first time out. Had several points, and retrieved birds to hand like a champ! Birds numbers were good. Sorry no pics as I was preoccupied with the pup, I'll try to better tomorrow.

That's what I like to hear!

Thanks for the report!

Any reports from the Hart area?

I duck hunted Saturday morning about 1 mile outside of Hart. On the way back to amarillo about 10 a.m. I only saw 1 group of pheasant hunters the entire way. I think the rain scared most of the Lions Club boys off.

I am reconsidering making the 8 hr drive myself.

Weekend turned out real good for us. Bird numbers still have plenty of room to improve, but still scratched some up. For as nasty as it was on Saturday! Sunday was on the verge of being to hot.

The weather was good. Very gloomy,snowy ground with a very light rain. Scenting conditions were decent.. The wind could've been a tad stronger but it did pick up. When it did, the dog was pointing birds 30 yards away. Birds held tight. Coco pointed 12 solid points on pheasant and they let me walk in and flush like quail. It was cold but so worth it.

I had a really unusual hunt. We mostly hunted south of Hale Center and then hit up a couple of spots over towards Floydada. We hunted with two pointers and two Labs and I think the Labs pointed as many birds as the pointers. We saw 15 - 20 pheasant roosters but for some reason they were getting up 50 - 75 yards out. I've never seen birds, especially at the start of the season, act like these. We only shot at two roosters and got lucky and killed both with long shots. Quail were as plentiful as I've ever seen. We could all have easily limited if we had stayed on them and hunted the singles, but we pulled off after every covey rise and moved on in search of pheasants. Hunted Saturday in a light mist and Sunday was postcard beautiful.
