    Default Barn burner

    I'm in a small club on Wadmalaw. We mustered up at 2:00 and got into the field around 2:30. A bit earlier than necessary but not too bad. I drew the power pole stand with my guest, right under the power line in the tomato field surrounded by sunflowers and corn. It was epic. I gave my guest the best spot since he just got out of the hospital and was still feeble. He's a Bogart. He had half his limit before I shouldered my gun. My ten year old shorthair was getting birds for us. I friggin love that dog. I can't count the number of times he has made me so proud on a hunt. I had to let him pick his pace because of the heat but we didn't lose a bird that I sent him on. Around 4:00 we got SWARMED. Too many birds all at once. We were picking our shot and out of the field by 4:45. Damn I love living in the Lowcountry.

    We had an awesome shoot as well. I killed a limit with less than two boxes of shells and that is saying something for this ol boy.

    We had the birds but not enough people to keep 'em moving. However when they swarmed us it was utter chaos, birds everywhere. Shot some great handloads, thanks to a friend of mine.The only downside was the heat and I really missed my old dog. I lost her to Cushings disease earlier this year and it just was not the same. My son's Lab will get to step up on Monday. Hopefully the birds stick around.

    Did it ever pick up after I left?

    For those that don't have a place to go and have kids under 18, sign them up for a DNR youth hunt. This is my third year taking my son and daughter and they had a blast. They killed 11 between the two but would have thought we had filled the freezer listening to the stories after. DNR and the US Forestry team up to make sure a great time is had by all. They truely want the kids to leave there happy. The food was great and the fellowship will be remebered forever.
