Upland Idaho or Richard Edward I

I just returned home from one of the greatest hunting trips I've ever experienced...3,700 miles round trip to southern Idaho to hunt upland birds with my brothers (who are my dearest & closest friends). My bird dogs are lying motionless on the bed next to me...plum worn to the bone. They cover hundreds of miles on foot and pointed 5 species of birds. I now truly understand what Havilah Babcock meant by not wanting to kill an elephant...when all one needs is good bird dogs and the uplands of southern Idaho.

Here are some photos from the trip. I will continue to post photos this week with some tales (or outright lies)...
