I just got back last night from 4 days of upland bird hunting in South Dakota. I shot my first pheasant, greater prairie chicken, and sharptail grouse on this trip! In 4 days of hunting we shot 41 birds. Well, actually I did ALOT more shooting than hitting, but did get better as the hunt went along. Looks like I'll be investing in some sporting clays time before next year! ![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
