The best thing about Reno is how close we are to the outdoors. All kinds of outdoor recreation including fishing and hunting are really only minutes away. My parents came to town to visit this weekend so for me that meant spending time with them, and not spending time on a hill somewhere in the desert hunting birds. It was great to have them visit, as always. One of these days when there isn’t snow on the ground, and we have a better population of birds I am going to get my Mom up on the hill for a hike and a hunt. I did have about an hour of spare time Friday morning before they showed up, so I quickly headed out to a very local hunting spot of mine. I was able to get one point, one dog backing, one flush, one shot, and one bird. I would take that over nothing any day.
