A Great Weekend in the Desert
I headed up North for the weekend with my long time friend Macy. Saturday we hunted with my most frequent hunting buddy, Paul. We enjoyed some great weather, did a lot of hiking, got into some birds, found some great deer sheds, and found a ram that looked like it had been killed by a mountain lion. All in all it was a good day. We did not shot a lot of birds, but it was still a good day none the less.
Saturday night Macy and I camped out and it was actually pretty darn nice out for November in the desert. We got up early Sunday morning to frost covering everything. It was 21 degrees, but we both slept very comfortably. In fact I was hot all night long and would have slept better if it was 10 degrees cooler. We made a quick breakfast, loaded up the truck, drove to our next hunting spot, and had another good day of hunting. We had plenty of good opportunities on Sunday, and connected on enough to be satisfied. There was no great shooting performance on my part, but luckily I had Macy there to knock down the birds that I missed.
It was a really fun weekend. I enjoyed hunting with Macy and I enjoyed spending time in the field with the dogs. After a tough day last Sunday for the dogs due to heat and zero wind, it was nice for them to have better hunting conditions and for them to get back on track this weekend.
