Harvest ‘21. whatcha get?

[HOG]

Long arming boots (it was vernita ya friggin hippies) and twerking on a mud flow in for theatricals.

 

[Eastside]

Not this year, but I shot one of those blue roosters and saved the cape for fly tying. Thanks for the reminder.

 

[Replicant]

That was it for 2021. Was supposed to go to NM for a grand slam of quail, a few weeks ago, but life got in the way, for the second year in a row. :-(

 

[Roper]

Bumpkis, the DNR set a timber sale in motion on Mt. Hull above the ranch and destroyed my grouse coverts. It’s gonna be a few years before it comes back…

 

[atomic dog]

Nothin for me either. It was my first year trying to learn how to hunt, so it was a handful of long walks in fields that probably didn't even have any birds in them anyway.

On the up side, I gots me a buddy to help figure it out next year...


Edit: Scratch that, I forgot that I did shoot a grouse while deer hunting up near Roper's neck of the woods, so I guess I got that goin' for me.

Good looking partner!

I had a pretty good 2021! I hope this year is the same.

 

[Ronbow]

Great duck season, about 75. One good gear trip to Sitka....

Spring turkey and pike.
Then got distracted for 6 months scouting/hunting sheep.
Fairly burned out after^^ but still rattled in a whitetail for meat. Back after elk this year. Nothing better than last years January Brown.

We managed to do this a few times

We managed to do this many times...the young lab is why my pointer is a little heavy...we hunted ducks quite a bit:

Some days you have to mix it up a little:

 

[Scott Salzer]

Ring necks, I like it!

 

[Merle]

@matchu865 Is that a Corgi? And does he/she actually retrieve ducks? If so that is awesome.

I had a Corgi years ago and he wouldn't even get his feet wet.

[Camper]

Grain fed whitetails taste pretty good

 

[longputt]

The flank feathers of a mature Ring Neck drake are very cool to tie with...did you see the bluebill?

He’ll drag a duck about 10ft…. In the backyard. We’re working on it, but I don’t have much in terms of expectations. He is only a year old and has been out in the field twice. He’s not gun shy though which is a big plus.
