As excited as I am to be hunting upland birds this time of year, it is this early part of the season that I like the least. When the temperature drops, snakes go to bed, and you can run your dogs all day long with out fear of either heat stroke or snake bites. I could care less about hunting birds while they are on water, I am ready for cooler weather, and longer days in the field.
It was unpleasantly hot this weekend, not just for me, but more importantly for the dogs. We killed birds and had some good times in the field, but it was stressful. Between keeping a close eye on the dogs as to not allow them to over heat, to worrying about snakes, to dealing with a faucet of a cut on Porter’s leg, to seeing Cash urinating blood, stressful is how I would describe my weekend of hunting. Despite all that, the dogs had a good time and were brought home safe.
Attached below are a few pictures from the weekend. The first picture is of another great Nevada sunrise, and the next two are of me giving the dogs some extra love at the end of a hunt. (Cash is such a goofball.
