It was. That is me and my son North of Cordoba in July of 2006. I shot all those birds and the bird boy arranged them. When my buddies saw the setup they all ran over and had their pictures taken with MY birds.
Best,
Mike

Weeds in the driveway, yard unkept, etc.
When we drove out of his place it was real quiet in the truck for a mile or two. But then we started talking about how we need to do something special for him while he is still able to know how much he has meant to us over the years. Now it's just a matter of figuring out what that might be! Here is what your y'all can do. Go out there with lawn mowers, weedeaters, whatever it takes to do repairs, and clean the place up for him. Kept it that way until he has to move in the fall.

Looks like Georgia will have a 70 day season, divided into 3 parts extending into January. Opener will miss the Sept.1st labor day holiday since its a monday and be on Sept 6th, a saturday. The limit is expected to be up from 12 birds to 15, and they are considering upping the wood duck limit to 3. (I'll believe that when I see it since the woody limit here has been 2 all my life)...Geo That's the best news I've heard lately, George, about the increased limits. Are you certain this is correct? I have not seen the new regs, yet.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Wow, Mike! South America, where life is cheap...Geo
The little square tails on the birds gave it away.

I don't know about life but it took a chunk of my money to hunt there.

I quit going in 2000 and changed over to Uruguay where they weren't rioting at banks. Same shooting or better there....Geo

George I would like to find someplace closer to home. The trip down there is at best unpleasant. I have heard of shoots in Central America but I don't know anybody that has hunted there.

Mike, the whitewing and mourning dove shooting in Central America is no where near in the class with eared dove shooting in SA. I understand Bolivia is good and is a lot closer than the miserable all night flight out of Miami to BA. Some of the guys (the Von Sneiderns) who used to run the Columbia shoots are now operating out of Bolivia. Check Trek Safaris (google it). Of course, a first class ticket makes it all better, but I'm way too cheap (poor) for that...Geo

Yes. From Amarillo we actually fly to Dallas, then to Santiago Chile, and then Cordoba. I am too poor for first class. Last time the plane wasn't full and I was able to stretch out across several seats and sleep. The flight back was full and I did the sardine bit.
Thanks for info on Central America.
Best,
Mike
