It's that time again
 

Yep. Spring ptarmigan hunting is here. The snow is deep and difficult for flying but not bad for snowshoeing just yet. I made a short day of it and did a shorter than normal loop to get the legs to realize that winter is over and it's time to go back to work. Saw 4 birds, 3 which flushed at least 100yds out and one that wasn't quite as bright. Took my 28" 28ga Repro along. Pretty ideal gun for this kind of hunting where even a 20ga gets to feeling heavy by days end.

great stuff as always...what a life you live....charlie

Richard,
That's not what I was expecting it to be time for!
I'm glad you had a good hunt.
Jeff

I'm with Jeff as I was expecting something different given the time of year. I have to admit your the only guy I know who hunts with the aid of an airplane:)

So cool! I was on the wrong page as well! Putting guns away, and stretching fly lines for me!!

What an incredible adventure. Thanks for sharing those incredible pics. What big country that is.

I think both Jeff and I were both thinking something much more organic:whistle:

Richard,

We actually still have a bit of snow on the ground here in northern Missouri (ok, it's only in the shaded spots, but, hey, it's April!).

I assume you're still imbibing your super beet juice, yes?

I sure enjoy your photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Beautiful pictures, for sure!

Love the super cub....flew one for years. Tail draggers are fun planes.
