So I joined up with Sallysue, Don and Deckhand for an evening hunt in some serious wild winds. Took down several birds before I changed out chokes to make it easier. Tuit performed flawlessly for her first hunt of the year. I'm so proud of that little lady. She was very busy Love the intensity After a perfect retrieve, little man says, "I want to play with one" so I tossed him the bird after Tuit released it to me. Next thing I hear is "Dad, this one has a tag" I'm thinking, no way! Sure enough, we shot our first banded dove!! and here all along I thought they were just myths! A limit with bling A big thank you to Sallysue for giving me the opportunity to take such a fine bird

Outstanding! Love seeing the kids out in the field..
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

thanks folks, I' stoked about it, been doing this for 37 years and never seen one, much less thought I'd get one. I've told the kids to check for bands, but never really thought I'd get one Been hunt many years and a banded dove was shot just a few feet from me . Way to go Tbass I find that amazing with all the birds you've taken and years hunting. Thanks again for making this possible
