Great DU Event this weekend

A Ducks Unlimited sponsored shooting event was held Saturday June 6th at the Sunnydell Shooting Grounds at Sequim, WA.  This was one of the first Sporting Clays courses established in the Nation.  Built and run by the Dryke family for over 50 years this charming and challenging course will offer you opportunities to test your shooting skills from every possible angle and will present targets from locations and in combinations that you have never seen before.  What a great day of shooting and sharing the fun of the hits and misses with other Upland hunters and DU members from the Pacific Northwest.  I have added a link to my site and it is well worth the time to explore this unique and historical location.

I hope to post and add as much content and images as I can that speaks to all of the elements of hunting upland birds. Having hunted for years I find myself in the Pacific Northwest where there is a gathering of hunters and others committed to upland hunting. Regardless of the state you live in and/or hunt in, your interest in conservation and organizations that support the sport, or just your own experiences, this blog is intended to be a gathering place.

I Look forward to hearing from you if you are interested in upland bird hunting and sharing information about your trips, gear, dogs, and other activities for the upland bird hunter.
