I love bacon, but I just use a half a slice to wrap mine. Seems to cook better.

I like bacon; I like dove, but I don't mix the flavors. DSFDF. Gil

Hi all, well today was our Sharptail and Hun opener. To be honest, it was a poor one. We did see birds, but not near as many as last year or in years past. The birds were also spooky for some reason, they acted like mid to late season birds. The day wasn't very good for the dogs either, poor scenting conditions; hot (85), Windy (15+ mph) and very dry. Raina had a couple good points, but the birds didn't hold well. We did manage to get 3, Rick, my buddy from MN. got 2 and I got 1 Here's the crew, my daughter Teresa, Rick, my son Jim and the dogs, Raina my GSP and Rick's Chesse Mazy May I used my 28ga Dickinson today, nice gun We'll see what tomorrow brings, still great to get out on the prairies! Best, Greg

Good to see you and the kids enjoying the special times in the field together. Good to see Jim home for opening day ! !
What chokes are you using in your 28 ga ?
Regards, Karl

Hey all, yep they sure do grow up to quick. Will my other son is in the Army in Germany right now. Jim is going to school to become an Archeologist, sometimes he's looking more at his feet looking for artifacts than looking ahead for birds! Teresa is going to High School, but is starting to become my constant hunting partner.
Anyway, thanks for the kind words!
Best,
Greg

Hey all, well Sharptail hunting today was a bust for my daughter and me, my buddy Rick was able to get 2, good for him, heck, he drove all the way from MN to hunt with us. He sure deserves a good hunt. My GSP Raina went on a solid point and a bunch of around 8 flushed, he got one on the flush, then a lonesome Charlie, I didn't even fire a shot. Did take a poke at a long crosser, didn't connect. After that bunch in the morning, we saw a few more, but spooky, wouldn't even give the dog a chance to point. Weather was hot, dry and windy....again! No pics today, can't find my camera! On top of that on the way home, one for my tires lug nuts sheared off! Not a good day!!!!
Best!

Hey all, today was a 180 from last weeks opener. I decided to hit a couple of my honey holes and it payed off. Got a limit of Grouse, plus a bonus Hun. Weather was much better, overcast, 50 and lower winds. My GSP Raina did well also, happy with her! All in all a good day! I was using my 16b Charles Boswell Best, Greg
