Every year since I was a little kid we hunted deer on Thanksgiving and rabbits on X-mas day in Mich. in WY its been deer on Thanksgiving and pheasants on X-mas.
Once a year my wife will go hunting with me. This is on X-mas day at Fort Phil Kearney. She is not a hunter but loves watching the dogs work.
So this year we get up early on X-mas mourning I cook her a great breakfast, we open our presents, get bundled up and head to the Fort. When we get there, their are 2 hunters leaving, I ask "If the had seen anything." and they said "No and that the other group that was here didn't either" So I ask Jan "If she still wanted to go? and she said that we should since were here and its "A good day to walk." Now I should tell you its 4 degrees out and 15 to 30 mph. winds. But being the little trooper she is we turn the dogs out and start our walk. We get 300 yards from the truck and she says " Boy its a little fresh out here."
Then the 1st flush, birds did not hold for the dogs no point, but got one. Then Jan says "Boy my hands are getting cold" In my hunting vest I have a spare set of shooting gloves and she puts these over hers. "You OK?" "Oh that's better", she says. We go 5 more minutes and She says "My face is so cold" You want to back to the truck? My little trooper says she'll be fine. I dig around in my hunting vest and find one of those hat combo face shields. And she says "That's better" and off we go.
Well Sage goes on point The bird flushes I shoot the bird goes 350 yards, Sage retrieves And my Little trooper says " I'm freezing if you want anymore pics you'll have to take them, I'm going to the truck.
And I will tell you that it was a bit brisk out. So that was the annual X-mas day hunt.
Sage on point.
