Fish-Bait's Huntin' Report (9-29-07)

[Fish-Bait]

Well folks, me and Jr. took us a little dove huntin' trip out on the farm this past weekend. I toted the ole 1100 12 ga. and Jr. was right beside me with his Daisy Red Rider. We opted to take Sugar (http://www.myhattiesburg.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=12553&pos=0) with us to get her a little spirit back since the move from Forrest to Lamar County (We are finally back in the country!).:clap:

We had a decent shoot for our location. It's been awhile since I have put a bead on anything, especially those flyin' critters. We were in a holler' on the bird's flight path, problem was they had ALTITUDE! Man, it's hard to bring one down when they are flyin' high as a radio tower!:smt118
Score was Me and Jr. 4
Doves 100+

I shot a box of shells for' I even skint a feather. We had to really hide in the brush cuz' those birds were very aware of everything (my bright yellow shirt had nothin' to do with it.)

We even got a nice visit from the local Wardens. I can say those are two fine fellers'. They even commented on Jr.'s marksmanship with his Red Rider! Thanks Warden's, I really appreciated the chat and Jr. and me had a good talk about what ya'lls job was. Now he knows he just can't go off and bust a b.b. on everything that flies.

Sugar shook of her cobwebs fairly easily. She tried to eat the first bird, but quickly found out that she wasn't supposed to.......:smt118 I had to help her remember that she was supposed to bring em' to me....

Anyways I am lookin' forward to Duck and Deer season. I wished I had the time to go smoke a few teal this year, but that ain't gonna happen!

Good Luck and be Safe
Fish-Bait!

Sounds Like Yall Had A Lot Of Fun. Sounds Like Your Shooting Is About As Good As Mine, But Its Fun To Shoot At Them Anyway. I Love To Go Dove Hunting, But I Don't Have Anywhere To Go Anymore. I Used To Go Every Year With My Uncle, But He Passed Away And I Have Not Been Since. Maybe One Day I Will Be Able To Find Somewhere Around Here To Go.

Fishbait,
As the parent of a much older son I will tell you that what you did with your young son will be a treasured memory for him later in life. He may not remmeber all the details but what he will remember is the time that you and he were side by side toting guns and hunting birds. A great memory. And I can betcha he will tell it to the next generation. Years form now the bird catch maybe a little bigger in his memory but so will you too. Nice story. Good job young Dad.

I got beat left off the invite hunt this year for some strange damn reason. I think them young fellers was skert de old injun would make dem look bad again. :icon_teet

red tractor, red tractor, red tractor
btw: there ain't nuttin' in de contract about damn big new house.

If, and that's a big if...I get my nice shiny red tractor for' next season. You Hawk shall be the first person on my list to invite on the dove shoot.
We didn't have a field so I was sorta' like borrowin' birds from the neighbors field if'n you know what I mean.:kekeke: He invited me to hunt, but I hadn't had the chance to go inspect the field. It was a last minute deal. Besides, when I got home I had a fever of 102...WTH? Jr. woke up this mornin' with a 101.....We are die'n..........That's gotta be it. Don't get me started on how sick we have been....:smt118

[Fish-Bait]
