This shot is definitely Not from the 2013 season. The hunter died 40+ years ago. It is an old photo of my Grandfather and shows the results a a day's bird hunting in middle GA back in the 1940s. I now own the 16ga Browning A-5 leaning against the table and the farm from which the birds were taken. I'd swap the Browning and the farm both for another chance to hunt birds with him...Geo

3 dogs, 3 guns and 3 limits. Every now and then you have one of those days you will never forget. Mine was Friday which was the last day of SC woodcock season. We hunted with my Abby, 3 last Tuesday, and a 12 year old über Brittany until lunchtime. Then a 4 year old male Brittany after lunch with Abby on the ground all day. It was mid 40s, perfect weather and scent conditions. We had over 40 flushes in tight, tall cover. Once, Abby and the old dog were butt to butt pointing in different directions with birds everywhere. The dog work was better than the gun work. Abby was slap worn out--you can see it in her eyes below. No fancy guns. A Citori and Uggie 20's and my 1957 M37' 26"iC 16 below. <br />  I

Mills, I like seeing snipe pictures. I got a new gun in November, the first in a handful of years. Nothing exciting, just an easy carrying 20 gauge Belgian guild gun made in 1936.  On the cold days the dog gets to go with me but if the temperature is going to get much above 60 he has to stay home. Far too many cottonmouths and gators in the swamps I hunt.

Great photos! Looks like you had better luck than I did. I am hoping for one more hunt this season. I probably saw a limit of snipe, but only got that one shot. Snipe are one of my favorite game birds, but I don't get to go very often.

Mills, best of luck if you get to go again. They are without a doubt my favorite bird to shoot. I don't get to hunt them as often as I would like either but I do punish them at least once a week for three and a half months so I can't complain.

Skip,I especially like the organized disarray of the snipe pile photo. I know how difficult that must have been for you to do.  Sweet looking gun and dog...Jackson's now a big boy.. Gil

Gil, not only did the random placement wreak havoc with my OCD but the wind was howling and it took some effort getting the little fallas to stay piled up. Here is another group in similar organized disarray.
