Great photos Gil, Stan and SKB.

Got three hunts in the last three days of duck season. Only one yielded some ducks. Sterlingworth pin gun 12 gauge

I heard one gobble Saturday morning while I was duck hunting, on the roost. Pretty cold morning, I was a little surprised. They're getting anxious.

I took my next door neighbor and his son quail hunting yesterday.

Wilson, on the right, carried a Fox Sterlingworth 12ga and his son Luke a Bertta 391.

Glad to see you are getting out after the BIRDS Mike S. I can only hope your season in the Panhandle is on par with ours 3.5 hours South.

Best Bird season since '87 !!! and that is saying something....

I hope you get those French girls and Dandies into many more coveys in this wonderful February finale.....Take Mr. Wood along when you feel so inclined , you need someone to drive and clean your take....

I'll load some photos on the computer soon, then get my "IT" department to give me a refresher on posting them .

Thanks for the encouraging words Paul.

Going tomorrow and Wednesday. My shooting student, Joe Wood, is going with me Wednesday. I went Friday, Saturday, and yesterday. Hope to go Thursday, Friday and Saturday if the weather matches the forecast.

Some days I think I have died and gone to heaven!

Look forward to your pictures. Glad to hear you are knee deep in bobs.

Good job with the camera, Mills, catching those two coming in, in the second photo. You're a better man than I, I'd have had my thumb on the safety, instead of the camera.

Great to hear ya'll are continuing to have such a wonderful year on birds, Mike and Paul. That's really encouraging.

Thanks Stan. I had my limit by the time I got those pictures. It was a good morning for shooting and a good one for scenery too

Thanks Stan. I am a lucky rascal.

Went by myself today. Had a great day. In the thirties most of the day with a 30mph wind out of the North. Scenting condtions, amazing to me, were excellent starting about 1:30. The puppy ground tracked a single two hundred yards before the bird stuck and she pointed it, at 25 yards. Some very good dog work today. Ran five year old Ginger and fourteen month old Jazzy. My puppy Jazzy made a bird dog in the last couple of weeks. But she won't pose for pictures so Ginger is the only one in the shot.

The gun is a Fox XE 20 gauge, about 5-1/2 pounds with 26" barrels, factory Kautsky single trigger, choked 5/1000th and 5/1000ths, 14-1/2 x 3 x 1-3/4, POW grip, leather covered pad. The single trigger has operated without a hiccup for several hundred rounds.
