They said it wouldn't rain this morning

...so I took my flintlock out to Sauvie Island for the put and take pheasant hunt they do out there.

They lied about the rain. Got one any way.

Dog is wet, dirty and very happy.

Wirehaired pointing griffon?

That's what it's all about. My Jake (Kerry blue terrier) loves the walk but not the bang . . . and doesn't point, or retrieve. Mostly it's all about chasing chipmunks.

But he does wait on one side of a tree until I call - gets the squirrels to move.

Saw a few doves, but not many. Surprised to see any at all given the cool/wet weather we've had.

Maybe one last look at summer this weekend.

Was this some kind of organized hunt? If so, did you see any other muzzleloaders out there? Bill

The area is primarily a public waterfowling spot, but Fish and Wildlife releases pheasants out in the crop fields for two weeks in September. Its a good warm up before the real season starts in October. Plus the birds are good eating.

Never seen anybody else out there with a smokepole.

Thats Awsome!!!

Thanks, just curious. In all the shotgun hunting I've done, I've yet to see another muzzleloader shotgun hunter out in the field.

Yes, they are VERY tasty, unless you raise them yourself. I decided to raise some in my younger days, so I would always have a convenient source for pheasants when I got the hankerin'. Very bland tatse, nothing compared to the wild ones. I guess it's all in what they eat. Bill (another Bill)
