Gratuitous Bird and Dog Photos

[Wild Bill]

Been a tough go locally with lots of crops still in and warm weather.

We found some chukar along the snake today. 13th season for both girls.

I’ve been too big of a chicken with this dog of mine. Adopted her four years ago as a maybe 3 year old with low obedience, high stubbornness, and not a lot of grace. She had some prey drive as I’ve seen her point doves, sparrows, and squirrels in the back yard. She’s a fence jumper in town and would run for a few blocks. I couldn’t take it any longer and took her out. Figured I owed her that. She blew me away.

She stayed close. She stepped on a cactus right away but carefully avoided them after that. Never whined or whimpered. She really followed her nose. We happened up a covey of hums that I reached for her remote instead of my shotgun. She stayed and watched them fly. Walked over to where they flushed to let her get a nose full. Had a straggler flush and I got off two warning shots. Never seemed to phase her. A few hundred yards later she bumped a jackrabbit and listened to the “leave it” command. Like a whole different dog from the neurotic mess she can be at home. We’ll be out again soon. She’s soft footed and out of shape this season, but she’s out there with me. And I don’t have to rely on friends for their dogs.

A different day, a different gun, a different species. But the same old Dusty

You can sure kill birds with Remington or Mossberg pump. I shot a lot of birds with an 870 before I started spending more money on shotguns.

I’ve made quick shots with this 20 I could never have dreamed of making with an 870.

Oh, sorry @El Jason . No slight intended. Earlier in this thread I was teasing Brent D and Ben Lamb about double guns. All in good nature. I said that they make better canoe paddles than my 390. So this was just a chance to poke them in the eye again and I didnt mean to insult your gun!

No worries! Not going to offend me.

I have a 391AL that still comes out from time to time. Great guns!

Not kidding about this thing being fast though.
