Owen is now 11 and hunted doves for the first time with his new shotgun we got from John Barsness, a Weatherby 20ga SA-08 Upland. I like it so well I ordered one for me. Owen got his NV limit of 10 birds by 10:00 a.m. He went 10 for a box and a half, about the local average. He went 6 for 9 on the last birds and got the hang of the new shotgun and leading enough. I scratched out my 10th bird as his 10th was falling to the ground. I was shooting a nice vintage Winchester Mdl 59 Winlite I purchased from John about 5 years ago. It's been an excellent chuckar and grouse gun with its light weight and neutral balance. ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/027_zpsb25b9ecf.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/033_zpscf14c4f6.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/030_zps86526b2e.jpg) We wore poor 14 Y/O Sadie out. She's ready to go again and can't understand why we're not.  (She "pooped" out  ) ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/026_zpsbf925a82.jpg)

Snap! Me too 'Cept I got three..... A phenomenal opening day NW of Austin, sounded like distant popcorn poppers from all points of the compass at first light. My lightweight "youth model" (24" barrels, 13 1/2" LOP) Yildiz O/U shoots great. Me, not so much. No worries, besides lots of doves, over the next four hours passed a steady stream of upland sandpipers, hummers, orioles, warblers, swallows and gnatcatchers all going south. Fall migration is officially on  Birdwatcher

It's get'm while we can. They are bunched up into large flights right now. That means they'll feed up and head south in a day or so.

I hope you gave Owen a hand cleaning the mud off his boots, otherwise you both might end up in the doghouse. Lol!!!  ...... In all seriousness though, those look like great memories
