Spent a cool Saturday morning with the Lil Monte. First time out this season for the dogs and I. I finally decided to retire my dad's old automatic 12. It has smoked hundreds of roosters and quail from Yak to Nebraska. Still a laser death ray, but I have wanted for many years to get back to a 20ga. My 2yo wirehair did a superb job with rock solid points on some very large coveys in open ground and rose clumps. In all, 17 coveys, 3 pheasant and a new spot for ducks. Go get some birds.
