During the lull between dinner and dessert I took Jordan out for a walk around the pond. I hooked and reeled in four but only landed two.
I’ve definitely had less eventful after dinner walks.

Upland Gear
I just got back from a fairly successful Upland Game Hunt. Part of what made it so successful was my waterproof, briarproof gear from Game Hide.
I’ve had other gear in the past, especially pants, including ones with a layer of neoprene inside the pants. I’ve always come out after a couple of hours with holes in my pants from being snagged on thickers or pricker bushes, and an extra couple of pounds of water soaked into my pants.
This gear was great. The pricing was good, the sizing generous (my fat butt had to exchange the vest for a smaller size even going over 3 layers underneath, there was still room for more), it was comfortable to wear, kept me dry, and didnt get snagged. The pockets in both the pants and vest are great with button closures, and the front and rear game pouches hold plenty. I will be definitely be checking out more gear from them in the future.
Pheasant Hunt 2019
I wanted to go out bird hunting. But I wanted to do more than just a pheasant hunt. So I looked around and found a “Upland Game Hunt” at Cherrybend Pheasant Farm

We met our guide Gene shortly after checking in. He is a nice, older, local, gentleman who lives just down the road. Gene took us across to the fields we would be hunting and introduced us to Red and Doc. Red is a 3 year old English Pointer that Gene rescued, and Doc is a 4 year old English Setter. A friend of mine brought his 7 year old son out for the hunt. Junior bonded with Gene and Red right away. Gene went through the usual safety guidelines, and explained how the hunt was going to work, and what to expect. Then we started our way into the field:
One of the females went down and it took us and the dogs about 40 minutes of looking before Doc, & Red found her. That’s Junior holding her up at the end.
We took a break about an hour and a half into the hunt and Bill switched to his side by side. Before packing away his semi auto he decided it was a good opportunity to let Junior shoot his first 12 gauge shell. Shhhh. We aren’t telling his mom.
I absolutely want to thank our guide Gene, his dogs Red, & Doc, and Cherrybend Pheasant Farm in Wilmington Ohio for a great experience.
