Hey all, took a couple hours off from work to hunt before the big storm we're supposed to get this weekend. Went out with my son Jim and our 8 month old GSP Addie. One area I wanted to hunt we got shut out of as they were bailing corn silage. So, we hit a couple other areas. I shot one, but he was wing shot and took off running! Addie couldn't find him, so a lost bird (I hate that, wished I would have missed!). Last place we went, I knocked one dead over some standing corn. Addie was in pursuit and retrieved the bird to hand. She really worked well today,very happy with her! Here's Addie  I used my 12ga Hubertus today  Will see how we do tomorrow! Greg

Floyd and I took our 4 Britts out yesterday to exercise and hopefully find a new covey and woodcock locations for this weekend's opener. No quail, but the dogs pointed numerous dove on the ground in timber. Surprisingly, on a grassy clear cut dotted with standing water in low places, the dogs pointed snipe (which held), a first for the MuttPak and Floyd's two. With gusty winds, it was some sporty shooting. Here's the serendipitous snipe with Floyd's Ithaca SKB 100 20 ga. Gil

Sounds like that was fun shooting, Gil. It certainly was a windy day!

It's an AyA #2. 16 ga. with 30" barrels, IC/F. I'd like to get the stock bent up just a tad.

Saturday was opening day in Georgia. Went north of home. Found 4 birds, one in the same 10x10 squareyards where one has been for the past 4 seasons. Flushed wild, never found again. Must've heard about Floyd. Next 3 were in the usual suspect places. Floyd, Abby and Willa, aka my MuttPak.  Today, Sunday, Floyd, Jeff and I. Floyd's Sadie and Pop. We went south today. Found 7. Recovered three. We are off to a decent start for early season. Should pick up as weather turns cooler. Gil

Not a great day nor a great photo, but we didn't get skunked. Gus also had a rock solid point on a turkey. Yesterday, he got fed up with my poor shooting and handed me a rooster at the ned of the day, so we got one, but it wasn't shot (at least not by me).
