The Last Couple of Days

On Monday Thicket and I headed to the Shawnee Creek covert with hopes of finding it full of birds. Alas it wasn't to be. Thicket bumped one woodcock early in  our walk and the next 2 hours provided to be birdless. Despite the lack of birds Thicket continued to hunt the cover aggressively.

Feeling desperate to find Thicket some birds I headed for the Buffalo Creek covert. Although the cover looked excellent we only found 1 bird here that she also bumped.

 

 

After a hard day of hunting a girl needs to cool herself off.

 

 

On Tuesday I only had time for a short hunt so we headed for the Warrior Ridge Covert.  Minutes after we left the truck Thicket found one and held a nice point.

 

The wind was blowing hard that day and the next two birds flushed in front of her. That proved to  be all the birds in this small covert but Thicket continues to hunt hard and "smart" going to thick pieces of cover in search of birds.
