keith, I think Jackson was about 6 when he did that note for me. He was already a well trained bird-boy, and loved it. But, by age 8 he was on the back end of a .410 killing doves himself (I had to recruit his little brother Lane to pick up for me then). This was them when Jackson was 9 and killed a nice bag. Monty's got some great times to look forward to. Wish I could do it all over again.  SRH

Great pictures, all! Damn, I wish I had a grandchild to share these precious times with! Freeze them in your memory.

Up in Stan's neck of the woods over the Christmas holidays in 2014, I was by myself hunting woodcock. On a swamp road, I ran into a tricked-out Polaris with dog boxes full of squirrel feist dogs. It was a multi-generational group of granddad, dad and his sons and daughters from about 10 to teenage. What couldn't ride in the Polaris was walking. They were all carrying shotguns. Never did catch their names, but it was a neat thing to see. Gil

I get plum emotional at times when it comes to my grand boys. Last April I was going through the vendors at the Bray's Island Exposition. I had drooled all over so many doubles that they made me leave until I could contain myself, so I was trying to calm down by looking at a Georgia artist's paintings and prints. When my eyes fell upon this one they filled with tears. I told the artist that he couldn't have known he was painting my two grandsons when he painted that picture. It is two young boys, at the perfect ages, to be a scene I have seen so many times on the dove fields with me. Needless to say, it came home with me after I got him to put their names at the bottom, in the border. Jackson and Lane ......... forever frozen in time. Looking closely at it through the link I provided, it looks for all the world like Jackson is holding a S x S, and Lane a little 20 ga. pump. They actually shoot these guns!  This is a link to a better view of the print than my pitiful photo: http://www.buckybowles.com/painting.php?id=93 SRH

Stan,
All this is great, but when they get a drivers license and find out that girls are not just soft boys that smell good, you will lose them, until they turn 30. Also, when they get to be 6 feet tall, they won't sit on your lap, any more.
Mike
