Don, if you're refering to me, no, I don't know where you're talking about.

Our two man limit from our first day hunting SD two weekends ago. Started at 11:00 and done by 1:00 (the next two days were not as easy!). I had my new 4 month old pup with but there was no hunting for him. I did get him on one hen the last day of the trip.

Pic of me and my dog with some of the Sharptail Grouse we shot and a partridge from North West SD. We shot a ton of roosters over 5 days but the day we spent chasing grouse was a blast as I had only done that one other time. The grand river is behind me and what a beautiful sight is was.

A good season so far here in Western WI. Even with a little break worked in to take care of an eye injury. Still getting some good shots although the birds are getting wary. John and Pete with their birds from the last two days.

Headed down to Windom to chase some more ditch chickens. Was a gorgeous day and we ended up shooting these four unlucky birds.

Well, it's been a great season so far and all the talk about low bird numbers is not all true. I have seen a lot fewer birds this year than the past two years, but I have also found plenty of birds to hunt from the metro down to the Benson area  . My pup, now two and half has really come into his own and is already the best upland dog I have ever owned. A lot of drive in this guy  ! It's been awhile since I have posted pictures so I will throw few together. I have had the chance to take two different guys out to shoot their first roosters ever this year and this is something fun to watch . They are the two holding just the one bird. The one guy is trying to get his two black labs off the couch and into hunting, I think his female is got it in her and just needs some time in the field. I have found that the windy/cold/snowy days have been the best days for me. The first snow picture is the day before deer hunting opener and the last is yesterdays first 3 bird december limit. All these birds have been shot on public land from the metro out to the benson and marshall areas. As much fun as it is to get out with friends, I really enjoy hunting with just me and the pup and the outdoors. The last photo is one pooped out pup sleeping in my daughters reading corner  Hope everyone is doing well and putting the  to em.
I am no photographer and just take the photos becasue my wife puts together a scrap book for me every year 
Enjoy and good hunting!

Nice pics Guys.
I think my dog is ready to disown me. 
Hopefully this weekend we will get out. We made it out on Saturday for about a half hour before the nasty stuff hit. It went from a gorgeous snowing, 20 degrees and a 10 mph SW wind to an WHITE OUT with 30mph Plus NW wind and dropped to 6 degrees in a matter of about 30 minutes. 
I tried to go with the wind, but all the snow dust kicking up in my face made it impossible to see. Rufus did have a cool couple of Hen flushes and one point before the nasty stuff came. Worth the 4 hour round trip right there but it would have been nice to have a rooster flush, when I could see.

Left mn Friday after work took me 13 hours to get here (SW ND) Buts its been worth it. Birds everywhere in all the sheltered areas. They are wild as hell though. Just thought I add some pics I took with my phone. (not the best quality) This is the view I wake up to every morning.
