Hi everyone;
As promised I said I would post some more from the 2nd Continental Shoot and following clean up hunt at Hickory Grove in Wyanet, IL. Well, it took me a while to figure out the editing features for my software so I could get the videos small enough to post on the blog. I got a pretty good example of Ike working but missed some of the best shots of Ryder and he pointing a bird right off the bat. You know it will take a few times to get used to having those camera glasses on and how to manage them. But either way it was another great day good shooting and great food. We kind of got split up in the clean up and Ryder did the typical phenomenal job of finding buried birds (I swear that little guy has the best nose (no wonder Harold says just trust him)) but Ike really finished strong - pointing (and actually chasing a rooster down) 3 birds in the last 15 minutes. The video is of the first one.
I have pretty cool still of a single frame from the video of the shell ejecting (you can see the pheasant dropping beside my left thumb):
One final note I have never gotten a photo of our host Mike Wirth so please see he and his wife Lori (of the tremendous meals) . Can't say enough good things about them, their guides and the their operation --Top flight people and if you every want to do some upland hunting give 'em a ring!
The season's almost over but not quite yet so,
"Ike, find that bird!"
