The Hunt

Quail season has opened up this month. Out of a desire to get some shooting in and the dogs out for some exercise, the five of them went hunting Saturday afternoon on some land here in Cheney.

& 3 amped dogs
They went out for about 4 hours and the dogs ran back and forth in weeds and brush the whole time. Tubbs and Harper came back with bloodshot eyes from all the brush smacking them in the face (and allergies). Hanz was protected by his massive amount of facial hair. The boys were so tired that they even ignored their dinner. The next day they waited until bed time to finally get up and take a pee. Today they are more so back to normal; and by normal I mean Tubbs is insistent on playing fetch and Hanz is anxious to go outside. All their exhaustion did reap a couple rewards:

Two Quail...soon to be quail nuggets

I watched Mark pull out their breasts, and after almost barfing, I found the inner bird quite interesting and was thankful for the food they are providing us.
