Thanks there Geo. My wish is that the Doves headed your way & the temps stay low. I was up early scouting for ducks & the total number of visible doves were dramatically lower than a day or 2 prior. I was elated to see BWE cut out his 1st left to right pass from afar and a bit later hear a single pop and turn & see a folded Dove(incoming) and an 8 year old with a single 0.410 smokepole pointed to the sky, all other hunters preoccupied with something else. That area of the field just erupted in congratuations. Now that is what is it all about. Most difficult to be a participant as well as a chronicler. Had I known the temps were going to be a bit low I would have brought a contingent of say 1/2 dozen huntresses. I guess I've been blessed with say 2 score or more of hunting dogs over my lifetime & like the Boys Ellenburg I do not remember not having a bird-dog.

Kind Regards,

Raimey
