Thanksgiving road trip

Left out of town Monday morning at 634 from Dallas stopped in KS at 2 pm and hunted until dark. Got into some deer and a few quail.




Made it to South Dakota and hunted some public and moved a few birds before the blizzard moved in.




Wednesday had the privilege of hunting private and one field and 1.5 hrs left us with a limit






Hunted a small walk in 4 miles south of brother in law's house and met a local that was out letting his dogs run so we hunted together. Great guy and 2 great GSP. Should have got a picture with them. It was 22F and windy. Made for a cold day and was in a hurry to get back and cook. I missed 1 bird and dropped another but couldn't find it.
Thanksgiving lunch friend pheasant tenders



Maggie fount a deadhead at a WMA I was wondering how a pheasant could hold so tight until I saw a little of the hide





This field held a ton of birds, I missed one in the bar ditch then pushed a small slew where 6-8hens and 3-4 roosters busted at once, I dusted one and winged one unable to find it after it sailed.Wwe then kicked up 3 more birds but didnt bag anymore.



Stopped in Kansas again to stretch the legs no birds

Pure greatness.

Love seeing your labs working the birds.
Nice job !!

Very nice! No place I would rather be with a bird dog than on the prairie.

Looks like a great trip..

I don't know why, in all the time I have been on THF, that I never looked in this area. You guys are getting in some really nice hunting.

good story and pics!

Great trip!

Nice birds! What is your batter recipe on those tenders??DANG!
