2008 - 2009 Fourth Hunting Season
Every year I do about a two week road trip with the Vizsla. My plan is to go a different direction, different place, or different types of hunting each year. This year my hunting road trip with my Vizsla Blaze I decided on something very different. A trip across Colorado to hunt the September Grouse seasons. So the new season begins with the big trip.
September 4th to September 22nd
I left the house the
night of September 4th, 2008. My first
destination was some Dove hunting near Graham Texas with my
friend Steve. Always hit or miss as we never know if our field will have
sunflowers or not. This was a good year.
So no Bacon to go with the Dove that night. Instead we grilled some dove breasts, then filleted them into a rice Jambalaya.
Moving on down the road towards
Colorado, I stopped in the Texas Panhandle to take a look at the Texas Parks
and Wildlife's Playa Lakes, Taylor Lakes Unit public hunting area. On the
walk, I could have shot half a dozen Dove, so back I went for the gun and
double timed it to one of the smaller and maybe only moist soil unit that was
still holding water at this time. Had quite a few dove come in spread out over
a couple hours before Sunset. Note this was a Saturday. The first Saturday of
Dove season, since the season opened on Monday this year. And there was not
another hunter on the entire place as far as I could tell. Very nice hunt. So
much fun I almost forgot to take pictures, but I get these just before sunset.
