Ever see those outdoor shows on tv where some guy and his friends are walking a field as a dog or 2 out ahead point birds? Look like fun? Look like a great way to start the day?
Well it is.
Today was opening day at Quail Point Hunt Club near Zamora in Nor Cal. It is about 1 1/2 hours north of the Bay Bridge, a little less with no traffic at 6am on a saturday. :)
I met up with 2 other guys and we rented a dog there. More later, but the bottom line was we saw 12 pheasant, and took home 7. The others are still out in the field somewhere.
We were way outta practice on the first few birds that flushed. After the dog spotted the bird and it flew up it was bang bang bang, we all took at least a shot each, and we all watched the bird fly away.
Ha ha we sucked!
Is sounded just like this
"bird"
at least 3 or 4 shotgun blasts "bang bang bang bang"
silence
3 guys swearing
3 guys laughing
Even the dog looked back at us like "what is with you guys?"
Later in the day the other birds weren't so lucky. :)
Walking a field with friends and a dog at sunrise is as good, no wait, better than you think it is. It is one of those things you do as an adult and wish you had been doing all our life.
