2/8/15 Coon creek hunt with GSP and Mark

Got out today despite the weather forecast calling for rain.  It was a good overcast with a bit of mist, but actually a good day to be out.  The dogs worked hard and found a lot of birds, but we missed a few also.  We released 6 and took home 9.  The birds were holding good, but some were flushing at weird angles.  We only hunted for a little over two hours and let 5 get away for another day.  It was the best conditions I have had so far this year, snow on the ground, birds hold fairly well, and two dogs having fun in the field.  What more could you ask for.  It's not about the number of birds in the bag, but rather the experience in the field.  This puts Willow at 172 and Autumn at 101.  I wonder if Willow will get to 200 this season?
