Been meaning to share this here, but it's been a busy few days returning to adulting. We had a heck of a good time last week… The trucks logged almost 4,000 miles, our boots trekked over 50 miles, and the dogs probably doubled or tripled what our legs did.

Blitz lost 8 lbs running the open prairie and I’m down 5. Collectively, our group brought home over 30 wild roosters, some sharptail grouse and few Hungarian partridge.

There’s too many highlights to categorize, but taking a public land rooster with a 100-year-old Ithaca SxS that was my great-grandfather’s, then uncle Chuck’s, and now in my possession certainly ranks high on the list.

I’m fulfilled, yet still ready to go tomorrow.

Nothing like hunting wild roosters... I've done it in Iowa and Eastern Pa. back in the early 70's... Where has time gone.. Who blinked...
