....and let me tell you, I suck at this game.
I took Dalton on his first dove hunt and my first one since I was a teenager. I used to be hell on the birds but I guess age and rust gets the best of all of us.
We (Dalton, myself, and my best friend from childhood) killed 20 Saturday morning and 29 that afternoon, 49 in all. It took Dalton about a half a box of shells to get the hang of it but once he did he was hard on em. I, on the other hand, never regained my old form. I think I shot 100 times and killed 15 birds. My buddy and Dalton, mainly Dalton, got the rest of em.
I'm going to ice my shoulder now, the ol 870 is not as gentle as I remember it being. Oh yeah, I'll post a pic later when I get it loaded, I took the completely off of one.
