    Default Best Opening Day I could ever imagine

    Well our field got devoured by deer but we struck up a deal with farmer down rd that has a huge corn field, saw him cutting corn and he ended up making us a good deal on his cornfield and left some standing rows for us to hunt in

    I am guessing 50-60 acre field with few scattered big oak and pecan trees

    My 5 1/2 yr old grandson went with me, we drove sxs to big pecan tree out in wide open field and I was thinking more than anything it would be nice and shady in case he got hot .

    Not best spot on field by far but enough to shoot a few doves , but like any trip with a 5 yr old as soon as we got settled down those words any parent(and Grandparent) dreads hearing . “Poppa Tommy I gotta poop”. Well we hope in sxs and drove to parking area and he was amazed I toilet paper in my truck. Took care of his business and back we went, naturally he wanted to drive sxs


    Other guys and their teen boys were having a good shoot but Cason and I sat there and talked all day, had a few birds get by me due to our conversation . I shot 1 dove with 1 shot and he went and got it , had few other passing shots but really out of reach . By dove numbers worse hunt ever but nothing would take place of a 3-4 hour conversation with my grandson

    We did move to other part of field after my buddy called me and asked how we were doing, he knew he had not heard a lot of shots from us but figured we were ok or I would have called. I think most other guys limited out but nobody had as good a time as I did today

    To top it off I got a text from my Daughter in Law after I dropped him off, “Cason said this was his BEST DAY EVER”. She said he talked non stop about his day even his lunch . That melted my heart and made that one dove better than any limit I have ever taken


    This my friends is what life is all about, enjoy every minute of it since nobody is guaranteed their next breath

    Nothing better than having kids hunting.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
