First Bird of the Season

I had a half-day trip today, which gave me the afternoon off to finally make it out in to the grouse woods with gun and dogs in tow. Well, maybe it was me who was in tow! Hunted some great cover west of Missoula, flushed five birds, killed two. The dogs did well and I immediately remembered why I love fall so much. Bring on the ducks and ditch parrots!
