We opted not to travel to Wisconsin this year and take advantage of Sage and Sharp-tailed Grouse here in Idaho. The weather was warm but we got in a few hours most mornings before it got too warm. Bird numbers were OK and we got some really nice dog work. Here are a few photos from those hunts. Enjoy!
Fall was late coming this year and there was still a little color left.
Here’s Autumn on Sharptails:

And the rewards:
Hunting from home allowed us to have some fun in the afternoons when it was too warm to hunt. Here are a couple videos we shot of pups we held back from Dusty’s litter with Buck.
This is Lacy’s second training quail:
And her litter sister Patch’s second find:
Now they need to see the real thing…
Great photo of Lisa, Autumn and the Sage Grouse. Glad you we able to enjoy some good hunts close to home.
Beautiful dogs, beautiful country. Although I must confess I get a little kenophobic looking at those wide open spaces when I compare that country with my dense grouse and woodcock woods.
