Hi Don,
I took the morning off today and took Ruby out for a few hours. It was the first perfect pheasant day of the year for me - about 0 Celcius and nice and frosty. Ruby hunted beautifully - finding and flushing this pair of fine roosters in easy range. One bird flushed so low that I had no shot until he banked away so I ended up only knocking him down. It took some time to find him tucked up under and undercut bank, but we got him. As usual, it just would have been a walk in a frosty field with a gun had I not had Ruby...
Cheers,
-Dave
