Here I'm with my son, after a hard hunt. Snow was blowing sideways and the wind blowing at 40+ miles per hour, not the easiest hunt, but we had fun doing it.

Been many years since I've done a pheasant hunt, miss that.
 
Nothing like chasing Roosters in the snow.
Not an easiest day in the field but that pile looks like you did pretty well.
 
I don't know what was worst, walking into the wind, or blocking. Yes, chasing those roosters in the snow was a lot of fun, the dogs were having a blast! This was my son's first time hunting pheasants, and now he is hooked.
 
It's not about limiting out, your time with family is priceless.

In five minutes I am out chasing these willy birds in South Dakota.

My hunts have been tough this year,would not have it any other way. The bird numbers are way down, but they will come back.
 
Roger, you got that right! There is no price on the the memories & family quality time my son and I had that week.....priceless!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
