It's that time again

[Richard Flanders]

Yep. Spring ptarmigan hunting is here. The snow is deep and difficult for flying but not bad for snowshoeing just yet. I made a short day of it and did a shorter than normal loop to get the legs to realize that winter is over and it's time to go back to work. Saw 4 birds, 3 which flushed at least 100yds out and one that wasn't quite as bright. Took my 28" 28ga Repro along. Pretty ideal gun for this kind of hunting where even a 20ga gets to feeling heavy by days end.

Richard,
That's not what I was expecting it to be time for!
I'm glad you had a good hunt.

I'm with Jeff as I was expecting something different given the time of year. I have to admit your the only guy I know who hunts with the aid of an airplane

So cool! I was on the wrong page as well! Putting guns away, and stretching fly lines for me!!

I think both Jeff and I were both thinking something much more organic

Richard,

We actually still have a bit of snow on the ground here in northern Missouri (ok, it's only in the shaded spots, but, hey, it's April!).

I assume you're still imbibing your super beet juice, yes?

I sure enjoy your photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Beautiful pictures, for sure!

Love the super cub....flew one for years. Tail draggers are fun planes.
