Sometimes Life Gives Ya Lemons . . .

. . . whatcha do with those lemons is entirely dependent upon the whims of the end user.  As for me and mine, I prefer to make em into dove kabobs.

No ducks huntable on Trigger Happy Farms on this, the day after Christmas.  In the absence of those, our intended targets, we opted to put the resident dove population in our crosshairs.  Whilst we didn't have dove loads, we found that an ounce and a quarter of steel number ones does the job just fine.

Limits in an instant.  Add 52 dove to the season's talley.

On Sunday, Reece, John, Blake & I tried it again.  Chucks.  Night feeders.  No love.

5 ducks.
All mallards.

On Saturday, December 22, I found myself coaching 4 separate 6th grad basketball games.  Reece, Haun, Blake, and John, however, slipped in on cChuck's and managed to eek out a mallard and 2 gadwalls.
