There is a place in the Owyhee Desert in Oregon that I hunt every year that I consider to be one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. I was introduced to this place about 8 years ago by my friend Hank, who is no longer physically with us because of an illness. It was there that I met a group of Hanks friends that along with him have been hunting that general area since the late 70’s. In fact back in the day they used to fly their planes in and land along the river. These are a great group of guys, this is an absolutely amazing place, and I feel really fortunate to have the opportunity to travel there every year.
The hunting this year was really good, but not the best that I have ever seen it. Between Chukar and Quail there were lots of birds to keep your attention. I took a bunch of photos this year, so I will let them help tell the story:
Another scenic view from camp.
Cash on point in the perfect place.
Some kind of desert lizard.
Cash making a 100 plus yard water retrieve on a quail. Not bad for any retrieving dog, yet alone a pointing dog.
The moon coming up over the ridge.
Cash retrieving another one.

Porter pointing a single bird that is holding tight.
