The heat was brutal on the Oostanaula River yesterday. About 70 shooters on about 120 acres of sunflowers.Over cast until about 2pm and then the sun popped out so I went to shade until about 4:30. My shooting was off and when my Old Reliable started doubling I got out a Gh Damascos 30in. 12ga. I don't shoot it as well but did to kill a few. I didn't count the birds but it was short of a limit. The most birds I have seen in many years. Many shooters started leaving around 5pm. I assume they had limited out. Around 6pm the birds were pouring in and lighting in the field. Needed more shooters. The birds seemed faster than I ever saw. Getting old is not what it is cracked up to be. Don't be in a hurry to get there. Thankful to be able to do it again. Going again in the morning with my grandson so keep me in your prayers. The Lord is good. Gerald
PS. Some people think I am crazy.
