This is the heart of the hunting seasons for most folks here. It was the start of Woody's. He had a good time on his first hunt and was a bit overwhelmed by the big birds at first. He is coming around now, and next hunt will be chuckar, a less intimidating bird.

By the third ring-neck Woody figured we were there to hunt and kill them. It started to be FUN! I had to take the photos and keep Woody from grabbing the birds, so excuse the poor quality photos. He is almost 9 months old and is still a puppy between the ears.

He just heard another rooster cackling!

Wood wants a mouthful of the big bird.
