I would like to congratulate you on this (possibly) once in a lifetime shot! I bet you used manual focus and just held the button down for several frames while adjusting ...nice!
Long before there was Pritch. And before Salty. There was Flap Jack—a mutt who defined the term mash up. He came by way of a family friend who lived out in the country. The product of a local stray, Flap Jack was loaded with fleas and frightened of a human shadow when we picked him up. My oldest brother, Bob, who was the reason we had gotten the dog, couldn’t get close enough to pet Flap Jack for a week.
I can concur.

If we all could only live up to the regard in which our dogs hold us...
Mounting the gun Make the first move with your front hand (a), starting the muzzle in the direction of the target. Sweep the muzzle toward the target and start raising the stock with your trigger hand (b). Instead of mounting, then swinging the gun, make the swing and mount one motion. You want your eyes on the dove. Lock your eyes on the target, keep your head still, and bring the stock to your face (c), not to your shoulder
I find that I have good days and bad days with regard to hit/miss ratios. The good days seem to just happen.(I'm shooting instinctively, and not thinking about it)The bad ones, well I may not have taken many birds home, but it was still an excellent hunt!
Have fun out there and you will take home some fine memories. Birds and hit/miss ratios are merely for bragging rights.
I’m not much of chef. My wife, Jenny, on the other hand, is superb. But the other day I stumbled upon a dove recipe that blew away every other one I had tried. And since we’re still deep in dove season, I figured we could take a break from straight dog talk and get down to eating.
Wonderful flavor with this recipe.I also like to use anaheim peppers for those that aren't accustomed to the jalapenos. Add a thin slice of garlic and onion, and wrap the bacon completely around the breast to contain the cream cheese and juices. Any bird, light or dark, is excellent this way!
23-year-old Arianne Prevost took this 11-foot Alligator with a crossbow in Florida last week. Check out our photos of her kill, and read the story by clicking through the slides.
While I was learning to flyfish, I wore a nice peacock body nymph as an earring for a day...needless to say, the wife was mildly amused. It was all I could do to get her to contain her hilarity at my discomfort. I might have even taken her to the emergency room just to catch her breath!
Sounds like a wonderful trip. Last time I was in the area, we went to Lake of the Ozarks...next time I'm thinking float trip. According to ozarktroutfisher "we wouldn't like it" LOL That's my phrase after bragging up a good trip..."you wouldn't like it"
Elmer, this is exactly the way my father taught me to do it back in the '60s...strangely enough I still have a '70s copy of the joy of cooking...I'll check this battered (worn, not tempura)copy to see if it's in there.

Hmm...a pretty lady with killer instincts? Robert would do well not to anger her when she's armed, right? Nice lizard, lady!
Tom's Goat2
I know this guy! Tell Tom and Tim that Joe says "howdy" from Arizona! They know me through my brother John in Nebraska.
