Got my first yard bird in eastern Oregon this year. It was a real fun stalk including a 50yard belly crawl to catch him before he escaped the land i had access to. Coming back next year for sure!

After some rain, sleet, snow and 1,600 miles Maverick Vonbirdfindr is now home. Thanks for all the suggestions and tips. I'm sure I'm bound to screw it all up ?. He will do great I'm sure as he is from a strong blood line. Picking up some frozen quail this weekend to get his nose working ASAP...
