A new to me logging road lined with aspen looked very inviting.
At the top of the ridge I looked down into this nice looking cover. Emma and I moved 4 grouse in this new covert.
The following pictures are of some of my coverts.
These next three pictures are of Emma hunting. She is a joy to watch float through the woods. She hunts a nice pattern staying within bell range most of the time.
At one covert Emma brought me this woodcock barely alive. I don't know how she came upon it. When she first appeared with it I thought she had caught a hen on her nest, but it turned out to be a small male bird. Perhaps sick or injured I could only praise her for the retrieve she made.
Emma on a nonproductive point in open woods. I didn't see or hear anything but she definitely thought a bird as close by.
I had a bird flush ahead of me on this old road. As I called Emma in she struck scent and went on a nice by empty point.
Finally the real thing. A nice point on a woodcock.
