I went back to modify this post and got an alert that the time to modify it has passed. I'm hoping this "new feature"can be done away with, as sometimes I like to come back and add something to the post. Like this:
Here are pics of Sunday the 11th's hunt. Started out at daylight again, and finished up at dark. Got several more miles in walking. Three of us went and we ended up with 4 pheasant and 10 quail as a group. My share was two roosters and 3 quail. Those roosters are tough birds to bring down.
One of them came up and flew over me. I hit him square with the 16 ga #6 shot 3 times and he only fell after the third shot. Breast is already tenderized ;D
The guys land we were hunting on was 72 years old. He kept up with us all the way, all day, and even walked across the fields to block a draw and still had to make the return trip with us He didn't kill anything, but he did get several dressed pheasant and quail breast for supper. I hope to God that I can still carry an 8 1/2 pound gun, spare shells,traverse 4-5 miles of broken terrain in hunting clothes and be as fresh as he was at the end of the day. The fact that he is a retired physics college professor made for some extremely interesting conversations as well. We could out shoot him with a gun but we were severely undergunned when it came to knowledge.
