Pups first dove opener

**wcrites307** · 09-05-2010, 10:06 AM

The wife and I decided to take 4 month old "What Ever" on opening day. Dawn would hold her and sit about 30 feet away while I shot my 28ga and handled the two older dogs. I figured a circus at best, but since Ever has been shot around not a lasting problem. We ended up having a great day. A limit on dove and 6 bonus collared dove. Ever made three very nice retrieves to hand even. Gotta love it when the light bulb is actually visible over thier heads.

Good job Bill.....nice pics as well. I still would like to do the quail thing this fall up around Ridgeway if you still want.

All the thanks go to you. Your dove field was a perfectly prepared dove magnate.

Man, that happy to be one happy day! I remember taking my 12 year old lab on her first hunt. I was a proud papa to say the least. Congrats my friend, hope you have many more fabulous hunts with your pup!
