12/29/15 clean up hunt. Well kind of with german shorthair pointers
Finally got Mark out for a cleanup hunt, but when we got there we decided to do a guy a favor who canceled late but they already put his birds out. We said we would take that field and pay for his six birds. Well we ended up seeing so many birds. Actually had a 15 plus bird flush. It was amazing to see that many birds flying all over the place. We ended up with 13 birds we took home. Even got my first chucker of the year. It was a great hunt but Willow got beat up kind of bad. Her paws started bleeding so we put her back in the kennel and ran Autumn by her self. Willow ended up being on 7 points and Autumn was in on 9 points. We had 10 birds when we put Willow back in the car and Autumn ended up pulling four more and we got three. I think we missed about 5 all day that we shot at. There were a lot popping up where we couldn't get a shot off on them cause they were to far out. A great day watching the birds work! This puts Autumn to 199 and Willow to 281. If Willows paws heal up quick she is on track for 300 easy this season and Autumn should have no problem getting to 200.

Looks like you've had quite a season at Coon Creek so far. I finally drove out by it about 4 weeks ago, the property looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteHad a rough time on public land this year in Southern Wisconsin, put some long miles in (more than 20) about 6 weekends with only a few birds bagged, last year was much better. Grouse season was great this past October, wish I could do that every weekend. My hunt club is on now, but it's not the best place, I had to release all hens the other day, no roosters left. If you're offer to host me sometime at Coon Creek is still open maybe we could work out a date sometime this winter/spring.
