Sent from.... RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

Very nice!

Both me and Vaquero limited this morning and I think most everyone else came close for the day with the exception of one guy who had his hands full with two grandsons with single shot .410s (which I think was the highlight of most everyone's day, can't speak for everyone but I enjoyed it).

We'll be back out dark and early, seated and ready to start pulling triggers at 6:52 AM in the morning. Should be very good very early where we're hunting with a sharp decline by 8:00 AM.

Let's do this!

Vaquero leading the way, Robertc1024 right behind.

Poor birdies.

All it takes for a successful dove hunt is a great location, attention, persistence and a shitload of shells.


2.57142857143:1is the best shell to bird ratio so far this weekend held by Vaquero of course.

His record is safe from me.

So far this morning I'm shooting 5:1 but that will change for the worse soon.

They're just not flying so I'm having to flush the birds out of the bush or off the ground to get a shot.

Beautiful morning though.

Hope you guys are having a ball. And getting some birds too. Would have loved to have met up with y'all.

Gonna get one more evening hunt in today before I head out of town again.

That was a fun, full weekend!
Weather moderated today. Very few birds. Yesterday was cold and damp. Lots of birds.

Warning. TXARGUY is a high energy guy in the field. If you're gonna try to keep up with him, hit the gym!
Nap time for this old man.

The well known escapee dog of mine - Pepper. I got some good work in with her this weekend - you know, I was dog training, not trying to hunt birds (cough, cough). At least TXARGUY didn't post my shell/dove ratio.

She had several long retrieves where she saw the birds fall - others, well, still working on that.

She's a good dog. A real sweetheart too.

Awesome and sweet dog. And quite the bird dog salesman. Definately convinced me I need one.

I wasn't sure what your shell/bird ratio was but I'd imagine it was quite a bit higher than Vaqueros and a whole lot less than mine.

Mine sucked it up big time. I blame the wind LOL.

Actually, and this is not an excuse for my shell count, just an observation; the distances of such large fields were oddly hard to judge, till you get the hang of it. Which is exactly what I was doing right about the time the birds decided they were done flying by and giving me chances to waste more ammo.

Great time all around regardless of shell count.
