As usual, I have had a grand time hunting with Steve...it was a most outstanding adventure to WA, with great weather, delicious food, lots of birds and fun filled days.
We started the trip heading out to East WA to hunt with a friend of his, Don, for the pheasant opener. Don is a great guy too and I thank him for hosting us as well.
We had to stop for some fall color pictures along the way, do a little sightseeing...
We finally met up with Don and Aspen (his dog) and got into some hunting.
Sunday he had to leave early, but he was nice enough to show us a few spots we might try...
and it did produce a nice pheasant and lots of quail...
From Don's place, we headed South a bit to go try for some grouse, of course stopping to sight see a bit as well
This was the only real picture from our grouse hunting. The birds just were absent from the area we were hunting...
but that's ok because there were plenty of other birds to hunt as well
In one day I managed three "firsts"...first limit of pheasant, first quail and first hun
and indeed that was a very good day for us
We finally did manage to get into a covey of quail that would cooperate and scatter like good quail...
There are more pictures, but I still need to go through them...
It was a grand adventure and I had an absolute blast, have managed to fall in love with something to spend even more money on and can't wait to do it again....
