Hi Jack,
Nice photos! A couple of us will be seeing your beautiful country in late Sept. looking for Huns. We're supposed to be staying to the n/w of you there.
I've never been to that part of Canada and am looking forward to seeing it. Has your weather been decent this spring for the bird hatches?
Keep the photos coming!

Wes: One bird this province has plenty of is Huns. We did not have a great spring but I see pairs here and there out for the dog walks. If you have a local contact in the area you are hunting, you should have good luck. Where will you be hunting? Right about then I will be fly fishing in Alberta for mountain stream trout. My passion though is wild pheasant. (Sneaking that limit of roosters in here. They were taken with one of the guns I inherited from Dad. At the time, the family Parker was out of service and my "new" one had not yet arrived, so I am taking the liberty to display an autoloader but hope to repeat the image this fall with a good condition Parker VH on it's way here) I take a few huns and sharptails but don't go looking for them, they just pop up from time to time in my pheasant haunts. The image between the ptarmigan and the snow geese is a hun flushing from cattails. Had I caught it above or below the background trees, it would be more obvious.

Cheers, Jack

Jack,
We're going to be over by Kindersley, staying at a ranch. I was told the waterfowl is outstanding also, but we're both interested in Huns primarily w/ the bird dogs.
I'll let you know how it goes when we return. Best of luck this fall in the fields and streams up north! Great photos!

Wes: How was your hunt? Hope the huns were plentiful and the dogs had a good time. Any pictures? In four days I'll be chasing roosters again.
