Welcome to North Dakota! BAM!!! Feathers flying everywhere. Feathers under the windshield wipers, in the radiator and all over the ground. I saw the pheasant rising - coming in low from the left just as it hit and exploded. It cracked the grill but didn’t hit the windshield. Now I understand the importance of a grill! Is this what you call “bagging a pheasant”? Terry keeps saying I “blew up a pheasant!”
Our first rainy day! The rain made the colors in the badlands appear more vibrant. While driving the scenic drive we saw the herd of long horn steer, lots of buffalo and a jack rabbit but no long horn sheep.
