Yummy!

I told myself I was not going to waste another hunting license this year, so I took the day off and went in search of some quail. It didn't take long to find a large covey and I managed to shoot this guy on a pass shot. It took me another hour to find him in the dense sagebrush and snake grass. I met the scouts there for some camping and cooked this guy up for dinner. With little preparation, he was quite delicious. Needed some salt, but still very tasty. I need to get a pheasant.

One Year Later.....

Another Sept 1 rolls around and time for the annual dove hunt opening day. Same time, same island in the middle of the Snake River. This year was no different than the others. About 9:30am the birds start flying from their morning wheat field pillaging to find a place to roost. That's where we wait. This morning was a little foggy over the river which made it difficult to spot the birds coming. Mind you these are fast little buggers, so if you aren't quick on the draw, they'll sail right past you. This year I scored 4 birds on my own. Again like every year, Todd shot over his limit, so I get his leftovers.
