As I said the Borovnik 20 bore Dreiling was very lively.....

I as guide, instructor, photographer, cinematographer, chronologer, etc., I needed all the aide I could muster.

Raimey,
Be sure to save the photos( have prints made), they will be worth more than gold in your old age, when you tell your boys' children about the time they hunted "ditch parrots". You might not think so now, but you will when you are threequarters of a century old. Good show.

Thanks for the wisdom there Ford. Yes, I have the image files archived in several different locales with one in Solid State. All the Boys are counting down the days till next year. Every evening whilst we were duck hunting, 6k to 8k Mallards would arrive just after shooting hours and tornado down in a Milo field right beside us to dry feed in the Moonlight. The 1st morning 30k - 50k Snows made a thunderous sound as they rose & it really grabbed the Boys attention.



One of the dogs in our troupe dishragged this Cat early on Opening Morning. We see & find so much in such a short amount of time.


Benjamin finds his 1st Kansas set of horns


Benjamin's & Ela's 1st Quail.

Owen was doing similar but when our group of say 2 dozen to 2 1/2 dozen split up, Benjamin was always closer to me.

Raimey, great pictures and glad to see that Benjamin had a great time. Badgers are nasty animals and not a good match for a dog to encounter one.

I'd be more worried about Ella swimming down that raccoon. A hunting partner lost a full grown wirehaired Griffon to a coon in a pond. Never thought it could happen, but it did.

When I was about 16 I watched a Coon try to drown my uncle's pointer, good thing he was a steady shot with a .22 or I'm pretty sure it would have ended in the same fashion as it did for your friend's Griffon.

I had heard these stories when I was a kid and always wrote them off to tall tales. Sadly, such was not the case.

Wish I could post some picts here, but I'm out of the bird hunting game for indeterminant time now.

I'm fairly confident that the Badger was neutralized by a very large 130lb? Black Lab. My hope was that Ela wouldn't engage such @ 18 months old.

But yes, my worry was the Coon incident. We were in an Oxbow & I was organizing a blind & the kids. I had ASSUMED that Ela would be fine on her own little adventure but then I heard her barking and getting closer & closer. Now the bush was some kind of thick & there was little way she was moving that fast on land. So I went to investigate & found her barking & nipping the Coon on the tail as they both were swimming down a River. Thank goodness I had worked with her enough that she would disengage on command.

Cheers,

We covered Sections and Sections of land with a daily average of 6 - 8 miles.




Then there were the nightly events @ the Motel Cleaning Station.

And yes, we did keep up w/ our studies whilst we were able to slip away from School due to the COVID-19 crisis. We made some cultural stops like Cabelas and the World's Largest Ball of Twine with Meade's Ranch(centre of 1927 U.S. of A. Continental Datum) just West of us and the Geographic centre of the Continental U.S. of A. just North of us.

But sometimes were we @ a restaurant eating and trying to complete & submit a composition on >>Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde<< just mere seconds before the cutoff on the submission time.


Cheers,
