Albert Lea MN Pheasant Hunt Nov 2 2024

Made a run to the Albert Lea area for an afternoon hunt.  We had hunted here on opening weekend and got one bird.  We started the day with 8 hen points and then Val bumped a rooster at 120 yds.... she was working a tailwind so I wasn't too upset.

Val was working some scent a ways off as I was trying to get Tasha to move in her direction... it ended up being a hen.  We started to work our way back to the truck and Val went on point.  This time the rooster held until I could get there to flush it and was able to take it in one shot.

As we got closer to the road the dogs were both working areas of scent and a nice big rooster got up and another single shot dropped him.

It was a good hunt.  A bit warm @ 55 degs but sun and a nice breeze.
