Central Montana 2020 Bird Season
 
Arrived home last night from 7 days of hunting in central Montana. The weather in Montana forgot to read the National Weather Service forecasts so instead of beautiful fall temperature we hunted in wind ( 30-40 mph depending on the day), rain, sleet and snow.
Great pheasant hunting, shoot more Huns this year then previous 3 years combined however Sharptail numbers were down.
Special trip for me as my Brittany had broken her leg as a puppy and this year the Orthopedic Veterinary broke the leg, set and inserted steel plate and screws to correct the deformity. Started the week limiting her hunting time to 2 hours or less per day. Last day of the hunt she hunted 6 hours and was phenomenal, unless you see the scars on the leg you never know what she has been through.
Getting out of Montana on Saturday was 6 hours of driving in 4 high in heavy snow storm. Lewistown area forecast is snow starting last Saturday calls for snow 6 of next 8 days.
Since Mearns Quail population is down I'm planning to return to Central Montana for a late season hunt in December. Weather permitting.

PS: Sunday I spent the night in Kanab, UT so early Monday morning I could be drive the 90 minutes and watch the sunrise over the Vermilion Cliff National Monument in Northern Arizona. It was spectacular.

I hope those repairs held and the recoil pad worked. Really had to fudge that curve Scott! I wish they had a metal plate to retain the curve like the one I put on your LeFever. Sounds like you had a great time. I'm anxious to get out for Gambels. Most likely I'll go the 31st, just to hot still.
