I was thinking seriously last evening about taking a bigger bore gun, a 20, 16 or even (shudder) a 12. But, I opened the season with the Dickinson .410 and made the decision to close it with the new FAIR Iside .410. So glad I did. The birds cooperated, in a way, by showing up. But, it was the most challenging shooting of the year because of the bird's speed, wariness and aerobatics. We're not going to be talking percentages here, if you get my drift. blush

Nice, clean 15 bird limit of big old healthy birds. Don't that little gun look tiny in comparison to those big old birds?




No more new dove pics until September, cross my heart.

Nice shooting chair Stan. Cabela's? I think I have the same one...swivels?


Yes! Good eye. It's the best swivel chair I've ever seen. And, get this. I got it for nothing!! I drove out to a center pivot irrigation system in a field right behind my house about a year ago and it was just sitting there. Someone who evidently did not know who owned the land had left it there. I was thinking just today how many nice ladder stands and stuff I have confiscated over the years. But, this chair is the ultimate. Cabela's doesn't sell them anymore, but I found one offered on eBay for some crazy price. Pretty comfy for this 67 yr. old dude.
