Hi all, here's one from today. Went out early while it was still calm (we are supposed to get 40mph winds this afternoon), was able to get a limit in a couple hours. I was using my 12b Henry Atkin SLE. It was a good day! All the best! Greg

Alright Greg! Finally someone has posted a picture of birds that look like the ones I bring home, sort of shot down and ruffled up so to speak.
Everyone posts photos of beautifully posed game without a feather out of place; makes you wonder if they just found some birds that died peacefully of natural causes. After I shoot'em and Willy picks'em up and throws them back up in the air for a while before relenquishing custody to me so I can cram them in my game bag, they're never really up to portrait quality...Geo

Chuck's dogs work on the halves. That is they charge him half the bird for doing the retrieve.
If you hang them by their feet they look more elegant and appear to be in better shape.
Best,
Mike
I am glad to be here.

Here some photos from yesterday's hunt. Shelby, my number one dog in a string of seven and me before we ventured forth,  to hunt the grunch.  This stuff is so thick that the only way birds will be had is if the dog understands to work it in 360 degree casts around you, while you advance ten or twelve yards after each cast. Now you see her,  now you don't.   Trust in the dog knowing and doing her job and an old hammer gun, puts the last birds of my 54th season behind us.
