Nov 26
+5C
light breeze
I was north of Rober's farm and walking a gravel road, Liza pointed the brush
and 3-4 m from me came out grouse! She was nice and solid, I guess she came across air scent w/o trailing the ground scent so she didn't have a chance to bust it. Great job!
Early in the season it was very hot up to 27C, so we didn't hunt.
It was very dry all season.
I only hunted Robert's farm. Hunted the next property to the north (the big lake), as it was sold and there were no people there, except a few guys trespassing and fishing. Hunted there with Evan a couple of times. He shot a goose on the shore.
We put 15-17 birds there in under 2 hours.
Hunted Liza couple times, she limped harder after that, so I left her at home.
He lameness started around May, seems better now in the end of November, we'll see.
Took Ivy 1-2, she's really slow moving, no luck finding birds for her.
I think the most I shot in one day was 3 for a few outings.
Luna is a machine, she ranges (a bit too much early on and when hunted with Liza), finds birds and points steady.
Liza was pretty good, may be she could hold the point a bit longer.
Hard to say how many times I went out between early Oct and early November.
Evan seemed to enjoy it, didn't hit a bird (we hit a bird firing at the same time, may be it was him)
