First bird of the 23-24 season. DHE repro 26" M/IC. Ended up with 11, but should have shot better.

David, Thanks for sharing your first shot with that great gun. Good luck with the rest of your season.

Got out for the first time here in West Texas last nite . I lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes in 107 degree temp. Birds are good. Managed to get seven. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning.

Yikes! 107…the birds would be cooked before you get home.

Got a couple of hours of hunting in this AM before it got too hot. Even made a new friend who stayed with me for about 15 minutes.

Thanks for posting photos, Bob. I really like seeing photos of hunts, especially from places I’ve never been.

Opening day in Northern Nevada was a success with a full limit of 15 birds. The weather was perfect with temps in the high 70's. My Fox 16ga did its job and my hunting partner Pearl was spot on.

Pearl looks like she likes the camera! Thanks for posting.

I had to get Pearl upright and doctor the contrast some so we could see her face better. She's a cutie.
