Just Not Flyin Today....

Yesterday was just one of them days. Not many birds flying for some reason. Looking at my empties, I should've limited, but........Still good to get out and pull the trigger! My brother n law shot his Parker and Fox 20s. I shot my Sterly 20 with the unusual stock. Has anyone ever seen a Sterlingworth with a factory POW stock? I've only seen them on graded Foxes.

I have not had shootable numbers of birds here in West Texas yet this season. Too hot, too dry.
Maybe your birds are coming my way.

I dont know Bob, i know a guy in Rio Grande City down there. He told me they were flying great. These birds are moody i guess. I shot only 2 White Wing last Monday, the rest were Mourning and Eurasion. Haven't seen any others. They were everywhere last year. The guy that runs the dairy assured me there are plenty of birds! Hopefully November will tell.

Chris, your camoflage in the last two pictures is not the best.

Haha, you'd be suprised Bill. You can be in the wide open picking up a bird, and be swarmed by birds from every direction at this place. Actually there's a long hay barn behind us in those pics we stand under that we use for shade. Still some of your best shots are walking in the open, sometimes getting a double. Usually finish pretty early here if you're hitting. The birds were just laying low for some reason Saturday. Quien sabe?
