Opening Day means different things to different people. To some it is a Baseball thing. To others, it is a Football thing. But to me, it is the start of hunting season. This year, Nathan and I had the privilege of participating in the opening of Dove season in a beautiful setting. Nathan and I spent Labor Day weekend at the Freels Ranch outside Forestburg, TX. I could not have asked for more hospitality, or a more comfortable cabin.
Nathan had the chance to sharpen his wingshooting skills with some clays, however, there was little opportunity to test those skills on live birds. It seems that the opener was a little too early for the birds. Nathan is really coming into his own with the .410. It takes some time to gain confidence, to figure out that you can hit a bird. Once that confidence is established, though, it is tough to break. I think that type of confidence is starting to form in him.
We'll have the chance to try the live birds again in October. I can hardly wait!
