dukxdog: There sure is a learning curve!

But...I've never hunted a bird where there wasn't one. Thankyou for the milk-soak idea, I may try that. I can't take much credit for this sharpie as it buzzed the truck and then landed in a tree next to the very-rural road we were driving on. After days of not getting close to a legal bird, the temptation was too-much for me. Each State also has it's own rules for engagement and it takes me a while (now) to adapt. Non-toxic shot was a mandate on several of the places we hunted (to the tune of $50/box) and the shots were always at a significant distance. Hopefully, earlier in the season (& with more hunters and even better, with a dog!) it's a different game there.

This was over the door at the Bunkhouse. A nice thought, eh?
