So, it's about 1:45 on Monday afternoon and we just set out for our first hunt of the week at Morrison Pines. Wouldn't you know it, Rich Anderson shoots a double on Quail with his 28 ga Parker on the very first covey rise. Somebody get the doubles pin ready.

Man I missing this trip already...

Mike did you get it on video, if not it doesn't count for Anderson.... Now you have to get a double with that little hammergun of yours.

And he probably had to be one at the time of the shot. So he can't get a retroactive membership except if its Life, right?

Mike,

You are playing ball right. Just throw a baseball to take out one of those quail.
Might be one hell of a curve ball or slider to get a double though.

Dave, Rich said he's not much for bling anyway.

John, I don't know about the ball, but some of these coveys are so thick I could have used one of my new wooden bats.

Eric, the weather is here, wish you were beautiful. Wait did I say that right?

Mike

A 34" 31 oz ash bat would be great in this weather. Too cold for a maple wood bat.

Have fun guys.
