Very nice. I stumbled upon your Blue grouse hunt in colorado. You didnt happen to see any Ptarmigan did you?
I think it would be one of those bucket list birds to bag, like the snowcock in NV.
Im close enough I think next season I'll make a run or two at them next season. If you'd like to join me just shoot me a pm! Yes, I hunted them, or at least I tried. http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/436635/ I doubt I will make it through there this year. I think next season I am sticking to three shorter trips to the KS Flint Hills, OK Panhandle, then South LA. But I do hope to do a three week road trip with Dash into Idaho season after next, that would include a stop or two in Colorado on the way I am sure. I will make that run to the Ruby mountains in Nevada some year. Don't know when, but it will be within Dash's hunting lifetime.

I always love your photo stories and I never knew what a VIZSLA was until I saw your adventures posted here years ago when Blaze was a pup. I even have photos of Blaze saved as my revolving screen saver on my computer! Now I am in love with the breed and looking to own one one day when I can spend the quality time with the dog as you do. Thanks for the share.....

We had the initial exam at Blaze's Opthamologist today and there is a good chance she will be a candidate for eye surgery. We will be going back for more tests soon to make that determination. If she is a candidate, she will have to have a deep cleaning of her teeth at least 3 weeks before surgery due to her eyes being susceptible to infection after surgery that could come from her teeth. Lens replacement in both eyes will be very expensive. Over $3000 for that surgery alone. I will have a first round of firearm related things hit the classifieds soon to raise funds for the testing. And I hope we get a go ahead and a second round will follow, which would definately include some of my firearms to raise funds. Blaze has been my lifetime dog both in hunting and as a therapy dog for my family. I want her to see, and run, and hunt again. She has earned this.

Awesome photos. Also shows the kind of person you are to take someones license right to their house. Even if it was only a hunting license. Good deal

Keep us updated on how things progress surgery-wise! Got some high hopes for future Blaze adventures.

Great stuff, I think you have inspired me to do one of these so called 'photo essays'. If its even half as good as what i've just seen and read i'll be pleased.
I really hope you can get things figured out for Blaze. Having a Weimaraner myself i've always also been very fond of Vizsla's and your dogs are very nice looking. Sounds like Blaze is a real pal.
Good luck
