Out of the last 10 or so miles I have walked in the past 5 days the last 100 steps from the parking lot to my office have been the hardest. Though I am a little tired and sore I was not ready to leave South Dakota yesterday and return to reality just yet. I'll go futher into detail tomorrow (along with pictures) but here are a few quick statistics from the hunt:
I filled my personal limit (and a few more) everyday, but as a group we only limited out (9 roosters) one day, taking seven and six on the other two days for a grand total of 22 roosters in three days. Not too shabby, especially when you consider that we hunt primarily on public land and that this was the 4th weekend of the season. In all honestly we should have limited out fairly easily everyday. All of us had our share of misses and unfortunately we also shot a handful of wounded birds that were never recovered. Lance, dealing with the akwardness of a new gun and the different placement of the safety button, also had 3 gimmee birds that flushed a few feet away from him that he never even took a shot at.
I'll write up a more detailed synopsis tomorrow, hopefully I'll get back to my normal self by then.
