10 days with Phil Carr...
 

And as usual a more gracious host you couldn't hope for ,and for the third trip in a row the birds and country did not disappoint....I shot a borrowed VHE 16 from Phil ,and did well enough when my head was outta my arse ... I think I shot a double almost every day I was out ...sometimes that was the only two I shot :whistle:

The man himself ....that first day out we hunted in pouring rain ,the ensuing thunder and lightening was the only thing that drove us off the hills,a day to remember !

Phil walking up...or is it down ? on one of old Scout's classy points

I believe this is Belle or it could be Missy ,hunting em up!

Goods dogs ,good legs and a good native Arizonian guide who knows where the birds are ...

5000 feet is a little thin for someone raised at 20 feet above the North Atlantic coast ...my thick blood don't move fast enough !

20 feet from the truck ,I dropped this pair

Sometimes a little tree gets in the way ...but not always ;)

I can't express how much I appreciate this place and the hospitality of Phil and his family ...its a place that as I kid I thought would be impossible to get to ,only to be seen on a screen or read about in a book

Still a lot of hunt left in this fella !

Everything wants to bite or scratch !

The act of lugging water for a dog is so foreign coming from a place that if I trip up I could friggen drown !

We ended the 10 days with a great dove shoot

The last one !

Excellent! That is something I want to do

Which one are you, Bonnie or Clyde? :rotf:

I assume the dove were the Eurasian variety ?
