Mike, Steve, congrats on your first in wild birds. Mike, as many different guns as you use on dove, you'll never wear one out.  Gil

Being a new Springer guy, I love that photo of Meryn. My puppy Kate is just four months old and equipped with needles for teeth. Her retrieves are limited to tennis balls and bumpers right now but I'm excited to get her onto a few birds next spring. Lots of pics to come.

Not exactly game but this is what I do for work. The dart gun is a Daninject IM loaded with ketamine and medetomidine. The rifle is a .470 that Butch Searcy made for me at a very friendly price as a contribution to lion conservation. It is loaded with soft points for this sort of thing, solids when working on foot and buffalo or elephants are a concern. Most of our capture takes place at night and there are usually other lions very close; for that I have an 11-87 equipped with a light and loaded with 3" Brenneke slugs. In fact, in 40 years I have never had a really serious issue with an animal but one has a near death experience every few minutes when driving the highways.  Bring your daughters to work day.

LGF,
That's some serious "catch and release" hunting. It's been awhile since we've seen photos of your girls. Gil

LGF,
Thanks for those photos. Could you tell us a bit more about what you do as far as lion conservation is involved? I assume you are collecting data on lions when you dart them? Must be a very interesting job.
Kinda makes opening day of dove season tomorrow a little .......... "tame".
