Took my son for the last time before he goes off to college. Ended up three short of two limits but found every single bird we shot without a dog. First time like that in years. Stood next to him for four hours and talked about life, hunting, birds, family and both his and my future. Best day together in years. Like a day my father shared with me many years ago. I even took a few pictures of him and the birds.
Funny thing we noticed is that every bird we killed was a young bird. Weather here pushed a lot of birds out two days ago. Perhaps the youngest birds were too young to travel or not aware of bad weather coming.
