4 Bobae pheasante 11 cooh sprige Soremsan Nov 4-5, 1977 I had a committee meeting in Davis Friday PM, Nov.4, so Gudy McPeak as I went out to Soremsan after the meeting, had lunch, and went pheasant hunting. Jed joined us during the hunt. Found a pair number of birds (all wild) along ditches in the N end of Valence and came out with 5 - we wae Jed's. Little Sabe made some good retrieving but still doesn't know how to look for birds in cover. He goes into action after you shoot one! Rained hard in the night but was clearing at daylight. The big concentration of doves on the grounds was scattered by the rain, but some came back throughout the morning. Gudy as I had a sandy shoot in no.2. Quit the blind at 9:30 with 11 lovely for sprige, so that Woody could move over from #5 and get some shooting. He did, as had his 5 by about 11:15. Dennis brought 5 sprige out of #4. Jed who took #6 as first choice, had the slowest shooting. Sabe did well on retrieving. Double he doesn't seem to understand yet - after delivering one he gets back in his barrel. Also he watches birds lighting on the ground and is inclined to charge out after them, with the idea if we won't shoot them, he'll catch them for us! Saw 15 hestrels from the ranch to Voreenville.
