Been a few weeks. I wish I could say I hunted a lot but I only got a few days in before the closer on Sunday. It’s always bittersweet. Given how most people are bitching about how poor this year was, I think I came out in pretty good shape – and for that I feel lucky.
I also was lucky to start a young dog that is showing a lot of promise. It’s amazing what a well bred dog will do naturally if you don’t force it. Great nose, great instincts, she stays in front and stays put on point till the shots ring out. She needs some check cord training to stay put after a shot, but other than that I can’t complain.
Hopefully the spring will be kind and we won’t get a freakish dump during the hatch like last year.
I’ll be slowing my posts till the fall, but I’ll try and keep it fresh.
Thanks for reading so far, blogs only a couple months old and has a few thousand hits.
Till the leaves come back and turn again,

Red Legg'ed Devils 
Thanks for taking us along with you. I look forward to reading about the pup's progress.its going to be a long haul before next season starts.
Thanks for your fresh presence, great photos and thoughtful words. Stay crazy!
Larry,I thank you for the great blog as it touches all the chase that little red legged devils, I'm sure! I think the closer one stayed to I-80, the tougher the hunting. I did so much big game hunting this year, I never ventured farther than lower end of the Gerlach for birds this year, with the exception of one trip North. On that trip Ellie and I got into good numbers of birds. Keep us up on your training propects progress. I'm training a new prospect myself. See you in the Fall.Mic
You said it, it always seems like the longest haul too. Thanks and I enjoy your blog!
Thanks Bob! You have a great off season and keep up that awesome blog!
You're right about the easy access spots – empty by November. I'm jealous on the big game front, hope I draw this year.
I am hoping for a productive draw in NV ths year. I'm switching to archery mule deer. It's more abou the hunt there. I finally can apply for an antelope tag this season and will put in for cow elk(hamburger hunt). I will also be going to CO again for a shot at my second bull from that state. I've actually got two dogs I'm training and both are big funners. My 11 yr old GWP just doesn't cover the ground anymore. Great looking fish on your newset post. Getting ready to start hitting the river.Mic
Hope you get some tags and meat! And some fish to hold you over till August.
