Yesterday was the last day of the season for me. Went out with a friend and his overall point champion EP in the assn. he competes in. His dog was on point with my GSP backing and he is movng in for the flush. I was zooming in for a closeup when the bird flushed. I just did a wild click of the camera, not knowing what I got if anything. When hunting he releases his EP on flush. Note feathers coming out of the bird after the shot. His EP and mine backing My GSP ....and I forgot to take pics of the birds.

Got invite to a dove closer shoot and had a great time. Should have limited out we started out in a bad location and had to move our blinds to get in the flight lines. Then we got lucky and got the best spots in the field. Big flock after big flock pounded us until the rains came. Had a blast! A great way to the end the dove season. Still have plenty of quail hunting to do. I used my Thomas Wild hammer gun and Dad used his Beretta 20ga.

While cleaning out my turkey hunting junk, I found a leaky bottle of Dr. Tom's Turkey Scent. It had leaked all over my collection of MADD Silent Shock Gobble Whistles. I threw it away in this dumpster on the way to work downtown last week. Within moments this hen appeared. jOe, Geo, check the lids on your bottles.

Hi all, well this weekend was the last for our upland season here in NoDak. It was a good one, not the very best, still a good. Lots of great memories hunting with my sons and friends. Towards the end, the snow made things a bit tough, but every bird shot was earned. Kind of sad, but now it's time for Ice Fishing. I hope the good Lord will grant me more seasons like this last one. Thanks Lord and you St. Hubert for a wonderful season! Here's a couple pics from yesterday, Wade, Will and I went out for the better part of the day, I managed two, Will one and Wade a Hun and two cottontails. The funny thing about Wades Hun, it was a single and in the cattails, odd to say the least. I was using my Dickinson 16ga, Wade his 12ga Dickinson and Will his Fabarm 12ga: Wade and Will: Wade, Myself, Lakota and Duchess: Pics from today, I managed two roosters and a grouse. I was using my 12b Henry Atkin, the end of a good season: Thanks again all for posting your pics, I enjoyed everyone of them!! Best Regards! Greg

Today, end of season, brings a tear to my eye. I cleaned and oiled my trusty old Amantino today. Wiped down all the rest in my gun cabinet. Time to dig out my spinning rods and head for the Garrison tailrace. Just think, only 10 more months till we hunt pheasant again old friend.

We better not have snow till the 4th Gil! If we do Greg, Wade and I will post pics of us shooting clays wearing snow shoes. I'm content to leave the turkey, quail, snipe, woodcock and dove for you boys down south. This West Dakota boy would rather shoot pheasants.

I am in mourning, for the dove season which ended yesterday. We tried hard to shoot a limit but, it was not to be. Shot a peanut field about 35 miles south of me yesterday morning. I set up my blind and my Mojo, and in about ten minutes I looked to my right and a pair (a true pair ) was coming straight toward me. I dumped the first bird with the right barrel as he crossed in front and swung ahead to the other, dumped him with the left. And, as quickly as it started it was all over. Not another shot. In the afternoon it was no better in another location. Grandson Jackson killed one with his second barrel. I missed one, then killed another very long bird with my right. Adam, ya'll had a good last day compared to me. The times when you kill a limit on the last day of the season are rare, rare indeed. Great thread, Greg. Maybe we'll still see some posts of ducks, woodcock and quail. Headed to Arkansas next Sunday. Hope to have some good pics to post. Stan
May God bless America and those who defend her.
