We have lots of seasoned dogs a few started and some extras, plus some fun grabshots.  Great hunt- we ran our Yeti dog in his first two seasoned tests and passed them both (score two for Team RedDog!).  Still working on Grand images, so it will take a couple days to work all these up.  Thanks!  See you at SOWEGA.

Two days at Bayou DeView Outfitters chasing snows and blues…  and we caught ‘em.  More clouds than I wanted, but man at the geese that came down.  Literally.  Special thanks to Jimmy Griffith and Adam Lyerly.  Dogs, guns, geese- see for yourself.

I was looking for greenheads, but they left two days before my arrival.  But the good Lord blessed me with blue sky, a gracious host and a pair of bald eagles.  Take a look and enjoy!
