Another short hunt, we moved two coveys, a large one and a small one. Took one bird out of the small covey on the rise, they mostly set in the trees with most then moving down the canyon. No singles to be found so we moved farther down the ridge line. I knew Tucker picked up birds about 100 yards from where we found the large covey the other day, it is really thick in that spot and if the birds flush to the North like they usually do they only give a very small window for shooting. Missed two birds on that rise, it is a hard spot to play right but we will try another approach later in the year. We pushed on a bit farther down the ridge with no luck. Heading back to the truck and approaching the area where we busted up the small covey Tuck picked up a single on the ground, made a beautiful flush and I made a nice right to left crossing shot. Another wonderful morning on the hill.

From this morning, the first day in the field for us. Gus's 15th hunting season. He is 14 yr, 2 mo, and 2 days old today. We got one chance this morning and we made the most of it, taking two birds from the flock. Gus is never in a hurry. He enjoys it too much. My Cashmore Hammer gun. 12b, 2.5" chambers. Kinda plain but it suits me well and I shoot it well too. Albeit, Ted hates the hell out of it. But that's okay Load was a bit on the heavy side using black and bismuth, but it's what I had on hand. And Gus is ready to tell the world, he is still in the game.

Great to see Gus still getting it Done, amazing really! Lucy is almost the same age, a few weeks older but she just does not have the strength anymore. Looks like a great way to spend a morning Brent.

I don’t hate your gun. Whatever works. But, it appears in the photo you have red plastic snap caps installed in it.
Those, I would hate. No doubt, they would suit somebody.
Best, Ted

Best, Ted You, you went on a classic tirade about. It was hilarious. But you've forgotten. Those are not snap caps. Good grief you are thick.
