Only got 3 birds. I shot the 16 for the first time and missed more birds than I'm gonna admit to. It shoots real smooth. I just can't hit CRAP with it.....yet. Blew a box and a half.
GO, to the East of the Hickory Creek unit there is sunflowers out the ying yang and who ever was in that field was blowin shells faster than they could cool their guns off. That's where ALL the action was. They did manage to scare the crap out of PLENTY into Hickory Creek for us to shoot at. I REALLY should have come home with 9 birds. I'm a bit disgusted with my lack of ability to hit anything with the new SxS.

Opening day afternoon I hunted a hilltop tank (pond, to most of you ) and got 8. The birds were way high coming off a sunflower field. Saturday morning and afternoon we hunted those sunflowers and I limited. Probably about 12 or us on Saturday afternoon and I'd bet we got 100 or so total. Sunday morning I hunted the riverbottom with little Go and we decoyed 3 in and got two of those. We were way late getting down there though. Sunday afternoon was really slow back at the tank and my threesome got 8 total. Monday morning was back in the riverbottom with Little Go again and we got 7. Not a bad weekend all-in-all but I've seen better. I'm exhausted though. I don't know if my feet would let me put those boots back on today. The dog had a big time though. She's as tired as I am.

I didn't go Saturday because I couldn't get anyone to work for me. I did go Sunday evening to a friends small field where there were a few birds flying and I wasn't hitting anything. My girl did get her first bird though which was pretty exciting. Monday morning at our club was a wash. The guys that went in the evening said there some birds but nothing to write home about. I had to run the shop in the afternoon so I missed out on that one too. I've got good one to go to on the 16th that should be a barn burner.
