Here is what the morning started off like as we all signed in and sorted out who went with which dog handler. I should add there were several dog owners that showed up with their dogs and had no kid of their own. Thanks to all of them. They really made the day go well.
Here is a picture of my son and his friends waiting to go out. Mine is the goofy one in the front.
We each took 5 youth hunters and a box with 10 birds. Here is the boys getting set to hunt. We had just put out 3 birds.
So here we are lining up for our second go round. I got to watch my son shoot his first bird. I have no pictures of the shot because instead of picturing it I was in awe watching it. Nothing could make you more proud.
So we had 5 young men and 10 birds. As you can see in this picture 5 young men, two fantastic bird dogs, and 6 birds in the bag. Each of the boys shot at least one bird. That my friends is what you call a great day in the field. I hope you enjoyed. My son actually shot two birds today. There were leftover birds so we took two and ran Kona and her litter mate Ace each on the birds. Kona did great on her first pheasant and my son has been bragging all day that he is the first to ever shoot a pheasant over Kona. She pointed the bird in great style and gave hime one awesome shot at his second pheasant. I forgot the camara at the car. Sure wish I had a shot of that.
And as par with this area of the country, the boys cannot take a picture into school with guns, so to show what they did we had to take pics without the guns.
Hope you enjoyed,
Joe
Was a good day, although my group didn't have the same harvest ratio as the OP's.
