One of my better hunts
« on: January 09, 2016, 01:05:31 PM »
Wasn't even sure I was going to head out this morning but finally decided I might as well since the season is winding down. I am glad I did. Not tons of birds but the ones there worked my spread perfectly. 25 minutes and 11 shells later and I had my limit. Only disappointing part was hearing some jack wagons shooting at least 20 minutes before shooting time.  :bash:

Thanks. Half the reason I go is because I know how much they love it.

Wow, great shoot.  I was debating tomorrow and that gives me some motivation.

Me too. Watching birds locked and cupped is awesome. We will get out again
