Bad news first. Barb gave me a call while heading towards the Portland area to watch a baseball tourney my grandson, Mac, is playing in. She said there is a fire between Lime and Huntington. It didn’t look like it had got over the hill closer to the reservoir yet but it confirms my fear of the possibility of a bad fire year. We’ve still got two really bad months to get past. Keep fingers crossed.
Good news. Since my last post a few days ago, I’ve been getting some great reports. Lot’s of chicks showing up. One friend, who likes the hun hunting said he’s never seen such large groups of hun chicks since he started hunting. Another gentleman took a ride on a Brownlee reservoir road and was constantly getting surprised by covey’s of small chukars taking short flights to safety and a few covey’s to small to fly. Pretty uplifting reports.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that we don’t have fires on this summer that looks to be pretty bad as far as heat.
Also, a vet friend said he’s really been getting hit hard on cheat in the dogs. Be careful out there and double inspect your dog after a hike.
Thanks for sharing this update! Really looking forward to the season – for one dog it will be his 9th and for the other his 2nd. Good times!
