We headed for our annual trip up north to Montana to target honks and pheasants. The numbers were down a bit this year compared to years past, but they increased every day we were there and should be getting better as time goes on. We were able to shoot a good number of geese with a bunch of Lessers and even a Ross. We shot a good number of roosters but didn't get any pictures at the end of the pheasant hunts. All in all it was a good trip and look forward to doing this again in the future.
Blake and Jedd with a portion of one of the day's take.
Jed, Brandon, and Avery out in the spread with a few honks.
Blake with a Ross that will likely end up on the wall. 
3 bands were shot this trip. Here is Blake and Coot with a couple of them.
Got to give a shout out to the hounds. Avery and Coot got their work between the honks and the pheasants. It's always nice to have a couple good dogs to do all the real work!
Have to give old Coot a shout for hunting with a bunch of porcupine quills in his face. Later this day we were hunting pheasants and while working got hit by a porcupine. We did what we could to field treat him but knew he had to get to a vet to get them all out. We were about 1.5-2 miles from the truck so we started back to go see a vet. Coot hunted the whole way back, flushing a couple hens and pointing a nice rooster. We winged that rooster and Coot ended up finding it a couple hundred yards down the field, brought it back with a face full of quills! It was cool to see him want to keep going and wish we would have had the camera to take a picture of that.
It was a great trip boys.
