First Hunt of the Year
This morning Archie and I got our first two birds for 2013. We went over to the Richland County Fish & Game club a few hours after the morning release as we often do, when the releasers have either gotten their birds or quit hunting, and have all of the near 500 acres to look for what might be left. We average a bird per hunt; sometimes two, sometimes none. Today Archie found two for us (the limit). We usually find them in the woods, swamps or brush, though he has found a few in the fields that the other dogs/hunters overlooked. We have had a fair amount of snow in the past week so the conditions were different from most of the season; but, a pleasant start for 2013.
