Smilax and devil vines, bay bushes, brier patches and wild plum thickets ........ just to mention a few.
We caught these out in the open edge, but you can see where they're heading.
You have the perfect excuse for not shooting well ........you were carrying someone else's gun!!
Thanks for sharing the hunt, SRH |
Stan, I've shot at wild Bobs over dogs in the South (notice, shot "at"). It's like hunting a tiny grouse with rockets attached. You earn every bird, but for me, it's still better to come home empty handed for the chance at a wild Bob.
Keep the faith, Brother! Always good to know there's another choir member.
