Our 06 shotgun hunt WMU80 ( the week in review,ended today)
I believe Hwy 89).Well today was the last day ...
CH , Isis , and Greaylag took a morning stand and I decided to give my dog a run on some upland treats ! ... ( it is Conservation land , there are 7 hunting areas and I went in the ones that the deer hunters were not in ! )
It started to pour rain ... Sally and I picked up 2 grouse right off the hop ... ducked into a farmers wood shed to get out of the rain for a quick picture ...
Carried on and in the next 1/2 hour we picked up 2 pheasants .... here is a picture of the first one ( a hen ) .
Sally was fired up ! ... but I finally got her to sit for 2 seconds to get a picture !
CH saw a nice buck chasing a doe on his morning stand , but no good shot oportunity .
Isis and Greylag ... saw nothing on the morning stand , but put together a " One man push " after breakfast and Isis picked up a nice yearling ... ( good eating and easy for the 2 old gents to drag out !
)
I headed futher north for an evening stand .... saw 2 does in the corn field and a buck grunting , tending a doe on my way back to the truck ... no shots in the pouring rain tonight !
What an awsome week in the outdoors !
The butcher had my meat ready from previous deer .... picked it up on the way home ....
Man the freezer is full now ... geese , grouse , pheasants , and deer !
Back to work Sunday night .....
Congrat's to all on your wild game harvests from the last few weeks ! .... Got to rest up .... clean and pack gear ... Will be back at it next weekend !

Sandman : Thanks for coming along for the ride ... hope to get some more pictures when the snow flies !
PRB : Any pictures from Tennessee ?
ecoaster : The meat goes pretty quick around here ... My wife doesn't purchase much meat from the grocery store ! ... Pheasants replace chicken , venison replaces beef ....
Then there is the venison Summer Sausage etc. that gets distributed between the many farms we hunt ! .... the freezer is down by next season , then the cycle continues !
We support our local pig farmers by mixing 40 to 50 % pork with our venison hamburger , Summer Sausage etc. ...

A very nice tale RJ. 
Very well pictured and spoken.
Gad you all had a good time. I think I'm starting to like hunting in the rain now. Sounds like you got a bunch to!
Lot's of time left to get the Big one still though.
