My two favorite guys Hank(with Lefever 16 and rooster) Gus(with e-collar)

Nice pic. Always great to younger folks in the bird fields.

Adam

Billy and his Ruger O/U and two handfulls of snipe, our limit this morning. Season ends Thursday.

What�s with this guy? �Rhoid Rage?* *(Hemmor)

Opted for wild birds today. This was the last weekend in the season. It was a bit warm but still managed to find 4 coveys this morning and killed 5 birds.

Covey sizes were good. One covey had 8 or so birds, the next had at least 20, the next had about 16-18, and the last had about 10. We also found a pair a of birds... guess they're already getting ready for nesting.




The weather has brought out Mr. Noshoulders... my buddy killed this on our place last week.





This is a pic from last season. Can't remember if I've shared it. My Miroku boxlock and a buddy's Woodward 16-bore.


Last week, I was able to take a good friend and his 2 boys. They all had a blast. I am happy to report they are currently looking to buy their first bird dog... a German Shorthair. Can you blame them???

Great pics Adam. I loath the timber rattler, but I love to see photos of our real line of defense againt the antis. I wish more young uns would take to hunting.

That's a Diamondback...Geo

It certainly is; most probably an Eastern Diamondback. When I said timber rattler I was refering to those that will waylay you in the woods, as opposed to those on the plains, which are so much easier to avoid.

RCC, we do have a chevron backed timber ratter variant in the Southeast; we call it a cane-break rattler. Much more colorful than the timber with pinks, purples and reds. You are dead right though about the timber rattlers mainly sticking to the woods. Our diamondbacks are usually seen on high open ground, whereas the the cane-breaks are usually encountered, well, in the cane-breaks here-abouts...Geo

They can't be anymore venomous than a North Dakota hoop snake.

Unfortunately the EDB prefers the traditional quail woods of the Southeast's longleaf pines and wiregrass. There are dense populations of EDB's on Georgia's barrier islands as well. I see more canebrakes than EDB, and fortunately, not a lot of either.
