Default Way North of Yellowstone

Opening the bird season . First day and about 40 Hungarian partridge up . Lots of opportunities. It is too warm now at 73 so during the heat of the day we relax and wait for evening.

We can imagine that some people are at work , whatever that is, others are at places where they do not have wild birds and still others too young and infirm to walk hard. There was a lot of screaming , arm waving and teeth gnashing on the radio ..... something must be going on.... so we just turned it off. Somebody is having a conniption fit. Not us, we are bird hunting.

Beautiful!

If you haven't listened to the news in a few days, don't turn it on. Things only getting worse

Another day away from meltdowns , incivility and arm waving. Here we are between mountain ranges on the high benches.

For a few minutes we thought we were under attack and could hear The Ride of the Valkeries.

We were chasing Sharptail grouse today . We walked for miles , the dogs ran for many more.
We came for Sharptail, we found them. We did well, had lots of opportunities , it was as good as it gets. Dinner in a small town bar and catching up with people I used to fly with in wars past.

The sun sets. A fitting end to a perfect day. We are blessed to be here .

I like it. It has come home. Tight bores and full chokes make for an easy 60 yard shot if I do my part.

Heading for the Bighorn today, close to where Custer should have gone fishing .
