I went out bird hunting this afternoon, chased up eight grouse and managed to bag three. Anyway, a picture of my shotgun with the Ruffed Grouse. Tim Love that juxtaposed engraving and feather pattern.

Hi all, well this weekend was our duck opener. Not the best and not the worst. Yesterday we had high winds (25mp +) and it was hot (in the 80's)not much flying either. It was a clear blue bird day. I managed to get 4 and my boys each got 1, but we had a good time. My birds and my 12ga Bernadelli Italia: Will picking up decoys: My boys, Will & Jim: Today was a much better day, went to a different slough, low winds and cooler. Just Will and I went out, I was able to limit and Will got 3. Another good day! I was using my 12ga Merkel 147E today: Will and his trusty 12ga Fabarm Beta Classis: Best to all! Greg

Greg, thank you for allowing us to watch two of your boys grow up in a hunting tradition. Good work!...Geo

Thanks Geo. for your very kind words! They are my best hunting partners bar none! It's going to be a very sad day for me when they go out on their own and start their own families. But then I hope to have some time with their sons.
Thanks again!
Greg

Slowpoke, that is the most beautiful hunting country I've ever seen. I especially like the convenient rocks to rest on. I'd have been right where you were in that last picture after a few hundred yards of those hills!...Geo

Todays walk along that ridge was a cake walk compared to yesterday's miles of rolling sage carrying that Parker.

Hi all, well the boys and I went out for a duck hunt today. It was a good one. I limited as well as Will. Jim got a couple, oh well that's hunting. I managed to shoot a Blue Wing that was banded. A 2 year old duck banded in Canada. My birds and my Bernadelli Italia: No pics of the boys, I left early to pick up our new Springer pup with my wife, and here's Will holding Penney: While Penny is my wife's dog, she's also a field Springer, so, what the heck, I'll hunt her with my Raina. Best! Greg

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
