Jon's birthday weekend

Jon turned 33 this Halloween. We decided to celebrate by going pheasant hunting in SW MN. We based ourselves out of Marshall, MN. There are many wildlife management areas within a short distance that are open to public hunting. Even though we weren't extremely successful (2 birds to be exact), we had a blast. The hunting was tough because the corn is still in the fields so the pheasants have lots of places to hide. According to Jon, "That's why it's called hunting and not shooting". Aspen was in a doggy heaven the whole weekend. Check out the pictures!
