I thought that you’d enjoy an update on Ki Ki. We went up to the White Mountains and bagged a bunch of blue grouse last weekend. We hunted hard for three days. She did great, especially in a burned area covered with a dense stand of second growth aspen where the cover was so thick that we would never have located birds without the “pocket rocket”. The only problem was trying to locate her in the thickets when the bell stopped! We also ran into some Mearn’s quail which she pointed. She did some great work recovering a cripple as well, delivering it to hand.
I hope you enjoy the photos. If you want to go for grouse, go to the White Mountains a find a place over 8500 feet that looks like photo 3. Hunt the edges of the meadows. As you can see, she is being put to good use!
I have renewed my guide license and plan on taking quail hunters (esp. Mearn’s) out from time to time. Would it be OK for me to use you as a reference for Tequila’s ability?
