so - its no longer October - but still have seen no flights for another year, the season ends in a couple days and this is my last chance (the weather is not going to cooperate - high wind warnings Thursday and Friday)
so, today- a rookie mistake - OH Griffin and I managed to pick up a couple and I was on a run with out a miss (never think about this while on a hunt)- Griffin covered an area at least three times with no bird- so I break the gun and get the camera out- about the second picture - up goes the bird he had been looking for.
Drop the camera- recover and close the gun and miss the bird with both barrrels
George Bird Evans once said -"for the dog's sake try not to miss the first bird of the year, for your own sake try not to miss the last"
