The plain beauty of a hen California quail. I am learning more about these birds with each hunt, which just solidifies their ranking at the top of my upland bird list. You might also notice a mourning dove cameo in the background. Always a fan of mixing the bag when I get the chance! . . . #llewllinsetter #quailhunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pointer #anticipatetheflush #uplandinc #wingshooting #chasingtheflush #quail #californiaquail #valleyquail

Had a fine morning yesterday with this pup in one of my recently completed restoration sites. She pinned 5 roosters, of course the weekend before pheasant season opens, but had a couple brilliant quail covey finds where I was able to grab a bird from each. I think the roosters deterred her from picking up singles. Cannot wait for next weekend! . . . #llewllinsetter #quailhunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pointer #anticipatetheflush #uplandinc #wingshooting #chasingtheflush #quail #californiaquail #valleyquail

Zeta might not be exactly sure what she is doing in the field, but she has quickly come to love the adventure. We have a tough weekend ahead trying to dodge all the deer hunters in WA. Be safe out there folks! . . . #ruffedgrousesociety #uplandtradition #uplandgame #llewellinsetter #setters #birdhunting #birddog #washington #pnw #huntingwashington #englishsetter #grouse #ruffedgrouse #birdhunting #publicland #publiclandowner #iownit #whatgetsyououtdoors #Q5 #chasingtheflush #anticipatetheflush #uplandinc

Bull elk screamed from the adjacent canyon as we dropped from the timber through a tangle of snowberry and ninebark. The autumn colors and panoramic views of the Touchet River Valley were breathtaking; a fair consolation to the fact that we had not moved a single grouse in three days. When my Garmin announced Yuba on point, I was quite skeptical, but this sight and setting was worth the uneventful days prior. Unfortunately, the bird had moved ahead of us, I suspect bumped by a couple whitetails we jumped moments earlier, but it didn't matter. The moment was perfect. . . . #ruffedgrousesociety #uplandtradition #uplandgame #llewellinsetter #setters #birdhunting #birddog #washington #pnw #huntingwashington #englishsetter #grouse #ruffedgrouse #birdhunting #publicland #publiclandowner #iownit #whatgetsyououtdoors #Q5 #chasingtheflush #anticipatetheflush #uplandinc

This old Savage Fox is my favorite uland gun, and I like to think it played a role in (at least foreshadowed) my upland hunting career. What is it about this gun that I love? You can find the story at the link in my bio. What's the story behind your favorite shotgun? . . . #pheasantsforever #pheasant #pheasanthunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #llewellinsetter #chasing the flush #uplandinc uplanddestiny #birdhunting #birddog #washington #pnw #pnwwonderland #outdoors #habitat #savagearms #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #hungarianpartridge #graypartridge #hun #partridge #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs

Weekend goals: 1) add a tick to the shot counter on ruffies with Zeta; 2) make the most of the Oct 5 quail opener in southeast WA; 3) finish the first installment of a juniper wind break on my little slice of habitat. What's on your upland to-do list? . . . #habitat #quail #quailhunting #quailforever #pheasant #pheasanthunting #pheasantsforever #grouse #ruffedgrouse #llewellinsetter #birddog #weekendgoals #conservation #chasingtheflush #uplandinc #whatgetsyououtdoors #grousehunting #meetingthemission #uplandtradition
