Had a blast in North Dakota it was my first year hunting here and I would definitely come back.. It was supposedly horrible hunting to my buddy that comes a couple times a year but I had a blast.. Hunted 2 and a half days and shot our limit every day plus a couple grouse and I got a Hun that's getting mounted.. Cool little bird and a good story to it so I decided to get it mounted. We were going to hunt the morning but the pups foot is twice the size it should be. Got about an inch to inch and a half cactus/ thorn apple looking sticker in her foot.. Can't put much weight on it now and hunted a good 3 hours with it in her foot.. Man dogs really are mans best friend and man are they tough.. So yeah we have 2 more dogs with us but if my dog can't hunt I'm not hunting.. Just not the same.. Told my buddy he could go but I'm out tomorrow, and he understood.. I wish Colorado had as many pheasants as here.. I think I'm addicted now.. Definitely not cheap
