Whereas a limit of 15 is always the goal we must be satisfied this season with much smaller takes. Nevertheless, i'm grateful for the few I'm blessed with.
This afternoon I sat for three hours and took four, with five shots. Three of them here, taken with the Dickinson 30" barreled .410 and 3/4 oz. handholds. Big, beautiful mature specimens.

Forgive me, but I would think it's a testament to your fine shooting and your ability to put the pattern on the target. Same with Murphy. And the challenges the wind produces when aiding the rockets.
