Lovin' it

It has been a wicked busy week since arriving at the new house here in Kansas but I thought I would share an update. Unpacking countless boxes, setting up kennels, dealing with Storm in heat driving the boys crazy, and having our first houseguest already, all made the time fly by. A new friend from Montana came down to pick up his puppy and he and Mike had a great weekend of turkey hunting, getting 3 gobblers despite the fact that they had never even scouted the area. Mike simply looked at satellite views of the walk-in areas near us and they went to the one that looked best. I would post a pic of them but my memory card went berserk and lost those pics. :-(

This morning we took 4 dogs for a walk and I took a few pics of the area to share.

This is our road, about a mile long. The light portion in the distance is near the house but the rest of it is a mud (unmaintained) road so there is no traffic and we can just walk down it and let the dogs run the edges of the fields.



Across the road from our drive is this pond. Lots of geese pass through here.




On our walk Jack pointed a covey of quail and Storm and Dee backed. It has been a cold spring here and the birds have not yet paired up to breed so we let the dogs run.




In this pic it was a pheasant. Storm and Dee pointed it and Tweed and Jack backed.




A running pheasant this time.





Good cover is all around us.









We are loving it!
