Beem and Skye

[kgb]

September's opener, prairie chickens



A woodcock and the boy who found him



M12 claimed two of these birds, hunting pal shot the big one in the back. Dogs stare out, unimpressed. They witnessed the misses, too.



Tanks were full in the Sandhills in November



Skye rests in some kgb shade when we take a break



Beem'd rather keep going



Sleep's there to be fought on the ride out to the hardtop.

Judging by the water bottles you have Gordon Setters?

Since 1989, nothing but Black and Tans. Even the one that was born red.

Good pictures and nice dogs. Thanks for posting them.

I especially like the one of your dog jumping out of the stock tank. Jumping in a tank and cooling down always seems to make my dogs happy and energetic.

No cattle on the property, I thought it odd the water was running, Mike, although I imagine just runs right back down through the ground out there. The December prior to that, water was off and tanks dry. Way fewer grouse out there this year on that property (or maybe we just weren't finding them very well), but quail were on some of the smaller patches in good numbers as they've also been up in SE Nebraska. Fine with the dogs and I, encounters are exciting no matter the species.
