Today the order is gun then dog.

Was planning on trying to get a limit on the hike out, got into 3 pretty quick but couldn't hit one to save my life. Out of ammo, bumped another 2-3 on the way down. I blame not having any coffee this morning because my cup was dirty from cooking.

Gun a Ruger MKIV, .22 caliber, CCI slightly modified 40-grain RNL. One shot. This was one of about eight birds I simply stumbled into as I was heading to a spot I planned to hunt. How's that for dumb luck? Looks like a good hatch. (See related report in thread 'Friday It Was..." this sectiion.
