Today is the first day of dove season here, started out on a gloomy note then around noon the sun came out. hunting was suggested and I was as bad as the boy - in fact I was waiting on him LOL. It was muddy from all the rain but the birds came in for a drink anyway. Ok most of them are still out there but we did do better than I expected. The newest member of the clan out shot us homeys but a fair amount. He got 7 where as I and the kid got 5 each before the rain clouds moved back in. We didnt wait on it to actually rain we were hunting in red clay and I wasnt walking home in than. Also found out Scottish dont "waste" meat LOL, the man cleaned his like small chickens - I ripped the breast off and gave the rest to the barn cats.
But if the weather cooperates we will try it again after while.. Need at least 10 more to feed this lot LOL.. But doing them like he did would slow eating them down.. I cant see picking the meat off the legs and thighs LOL. Even had one girl shoot a few times - 0 birds so she gave up... SHoot I went 2 for 5 in one run LOL.. Some shotgun time IS required to keep face now.. LOL the boy actually pulled off a double once.. May be time to put the old Remington up and pull out the Beretta LOL.. Both are good shooters just the idea of you get 2 shots with no backup 3rd means you will work harder LOL. Texted the SIL and told him to hot walmart on the way in we need more ammo LOL.. No I do not reload 12ga shotshells yet.. but looks like that may change. I did call and found out the new uncle doesnt need a hunting license as long as he is the property.. But we do need to kick his real ID past the paperwork though. He has a temp work visa at present but he will be living here now so they need to get things in gear.
