    A fun first evening of Muzzleloader season. I had not shot my gun since last year. One shot to verify zero and put it to work… I only shot one of these. 😀. Time to clean it for another year.

    it was dead as a hammer. He was stiff in that position when I took him from the game bag so I just laid him on his belly instead of his side. I think it’s a good look. Lol

    This just came up in memories. Peanuts first limit on wild birds, six years ago to the day. What a great little hunting partner he has been!

    My bird hunting buddy, Clint and I went for a couple hours this afternoon. Peanut did his thing. We saw a couple covey of quail and another 8-10 pheasants. Laziness kept me from completing the limit. Peanut had him pointed a couple hundred yards from the truck but I didn’t have the legs...
