    Default Fun on the Field


    Had more fun today then I've had in a long time and still had my cloths on.:D Jake and my son-in-law joined me on the field, had a good many birds for a small field. Went out the first time around 3 stayed maybe 45 minutes nothing was flying so came in and cooled off till around 5. The birds started flying and at times kept us pretty busy. Jake got him a new Winchester 870 and he was proud of it, and I'm glad he got to shoot.
    Hard to believe the boy was only 8 years old when we had our first crappiefest. He's now 13, One of these days he won't want anything to do with me, you know teenagers.
    The first 2 shots I took I wasn't planted very well and the kick of the gun knocked me off my dove bucket into the briars on my back.Doh I ain't going to say how many we killed but it was pathetic, them things are there one second and gone the next.
    But it was fun, and looking forward to making my field bigger and better for next year.Thumbs Up

    I told my son-in-law I'm going get a skeet thrower and we can start practicing, we need it.:o

    Sounds like you guys had a good time when they started flying. To me, it never was about how many we killed, but how much we got to shoot the guns. I aint never been much on doves either. If I could kill 6-8 a box I figured I was doing alright. Heck, there was times when the doves wouldnt fly we'd throw up dirt clods to shoot.:D:D

    I agree Butch Thumbs Up. Always enjoyed shooting the gun for the first time of the year.

    Beagler, sounds like y'all had a good time. I have not shot my 12 gage in years so it would get me the first time too Hands Clapping.

    Good deal Beagler. I aint hunted in 10 - -12 years now but still remember the fun of opening day dove shoot. Dony worry bout Jake. He got the outdoors in his blood now so he will be fine. At least tell us how bad he outshot you on em.

    Quality time with your son now will equal quality time with him later. The girls will get him for awhile, but he'll come back. ;-). Probably with a few extra mouths to feed. LOL
