Hey Mark! I did not have your success when I hunted with Tinker. Good for you, cool hunt. The gentleman who helped in our hunt scouts with binocs to know which land the chickens are using. This helps locate those coveys without wandering around for just any grouse. I have hunted this area previously and it was just what you run into and meant many sharpies. I just want to say I did not shoot any sharpies on this hunt…..one person in our party shot both on the 2 day hunt…..just sayin’ without sayin’ who!

Sharpies
Sharpies! The Rodney Dangerfield of game birds. They just don't get no respect!

Great way to start the season. Take a shorter barreled gun with open chokes with you when you chase those Minnesota ruffies.

Mark, did you shoot from horseback or shoot from the ground?

Shooting was from the ground only Bill- guns unloaded and in scarab while riding.
Dogs go on point. Dismount. Load and approach 2 men at a time. Tinker was quite a charecter. Gave us a big pre hunt speech about how hard the hunt would be....and how challenging the shots were etc...And made big point of telling no chance at all at getting a limit of birds (when we tell guides we are from New York they immediately think we live in Manhattan) Anyway I got to snickering and he called me out on that. I told him I had a deal for him- "Bob you put the birds up and We will knock the birds down" - Bob was not a believer. Well - we had our limits the first two days by noon. He would not hunt with us on day 3 - sent us with another guide. And we got all our birds with Him too at the Tatanka ranch. I giggle everytime I relive this hunt!!
