Great report as always!  I know exactly what you mean about the melancholy that accompanies the end of the season.  It gives us time to pause and reflect on what was, what could have been and what those hopeful future seasons hold in store.

Thank you for taking us along hunting with you this season.  I have not hunted any upland game birds in many many years, but often felt like I was in your old battle wagon cruising the mats with you waiting for a bird to take wing.

Until next season..............

ps.  8 birds on your last outing is a heck of a way to end the year too!
