Just got back from five days at the property. A few odds and ends to take care of, but mostly hoping the front had pushed some dove down. Lots of pics of Cocoa with a face full of feathers- hope you don't tired of them, so they're interspersed with some other pics.

One of the "to do" items was putting a liner in the old concrete stock tank, and putting 500 gallons of water in it. While pumping the first 250 in, a dove flew within 10 ft. of me. That spurred me to get the 16 out. Two minutes later we had our first bird of the trip:



In between the morning and evening hunt/shoot, there were other things to do. One was having fun hitting the 200 and 330 yard steel plates with the Garand:



Mojos work, and the higher the better:






Lots of time in between birds...



and they didn't seem to mind the music. No one around to be bothered by it, and made the time enjoyable:



So this post is not too photo heavy, I'll put a few more up on a second one.
