A great day on the dove field in NC. My 5 month old Lab, Larry had his first day in the field. My 30 year old former Yuppie type daughter experienced her first dove hunt and got 3. My wife got 6. One son in law got 12 while another who arrived late got 7. I sat on a stool beside my 6 year old grandson and my 5 month old dog. Larry worked great for his age. My wife shot her 1912 Fox 20 and I my 1917 Fox 16 gauge.

After the dove hunt we had a cookout at my house. Not a bad day. I thank my Maker for the life he lets me lead. I'm going in the house now for a cup of coffee and a peice of peach cobbler. I wish such a day for all my friends on this board.

It's the best time of the year, let's enjoy it.
