My dog Sally split her chest open on a jagged rock when she went to retrieve a bird from the lake , within the 1st 2hrs of the hunt , but not before she moved many birds to the gun ..... Lucky one of our Pelee crew is a Vet , he flushed the wound out and stiched the nasty gash up .... But it put her out of the roll call for the duration of the hunt .... So " Spike " was my partner for the rest of the hunt ..... I also gunned over Randy S. and Randy A's dogs .... Our group finished our group total off by the afternoon of the 2nd day , and we had a blast playing cards , telling jokes , catching up , between cleaning birds and hardy meals !
I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do but here are some I did get ...
Parked the truck on the slate rock beach for a shot of the lake as rafts of birds moved by in the background ...

Randy and I took a drive around the evening before the hunt and I snapped pictures of 2 nice cock birds ...

I tried to get some flush and shot pictures as the guys worked fence lines between the bean fields .... but only got 1 picture of a hen passing back towards me ....

Left the Island and travelled to Japan for another work related dispatch ... the skys were cloudy so no ground visable for the duration of the trip ...

Most fields are inactive , and what farm equipment there is sits idle as the second planting continues to grow ...

Moved to another location, I followed the canal towards the spot where Tom P. and I tried carp fishing ....

Eventually came apon a guy fighting a carp , it wasn't cooperating close to the wall so I jumped down into the drainage and netted it for him .... ( Kazuya Narita and his wife Kimiyo )

Headed back towards town and I eventually bumped a cock Pheasant ... only got 1 shot as he flew across the field ....

As I got closer to town I came apon a field of purple and white flowers ....

Also some other small patches of other flowers ...

And of course there are always lots of big spiders around the fields as well ....
