A Ringneck ( Eurasian) and a Morning dove from today. Granted the Morning dove was a young bird.

Incredible wood on that gun! Would it be too much trouble to post a photo of the other side? My goodness. I have seen many beautiful stocks, but that one is near the top.

Great shooting, Todd, and with a very nice gun. I went 10 X 10 on a late season mourning dove shoot year before last with my 32" HE grade Fox. Then the wheels fell off.
It has been my experience that the Eurasians fly slower than our mourning doves, and with less darting and jiving. We get a few on the fields, but not many. When I'm shooting mourning doves and one shows up I have to be very careful not to over lead it and miss. Sorry about your dog, Alley. |

Todd, how many fish did CD Smith shoot with that Parker??
Great day shooting, 11/11. So sorry to hear your dog is on the way out. That's always a very hard day. Tears our heart out. Then what do we do? We get another puppy knowing it'll end the same way. Wash, rinse, repeat.... |

Sorry to learn about your Alley. A video of her last day would be bittersweet, but I'm sure that the day in etched in your mind's eye ands will be forever. Our dogs stay with us to our dying day.

So far, Alley is still with us. I thought today was it, because she was unable to get up under her own power initially. My wife fed her some chicken while she was just laying there.
I went over to do an assessment, and talked to her while petting and rubbing her head. I walked to the other side of the room, and gave her as upbeat as I could call to heel, and she managed to get up and walk over to me. We walked over to, and thru the kitchen so that Mom could see her on her feet again. Right now she is laying on her bed in the office as I type. She doesn't seem to be ready to go yet, so we will see what the next couple of days bring. |
