I got the invitation this morning. We meet at 9:00 tomorrow morning.. I've charged up all my equipment and checked every weather forecast. I have to be careful and not go to sleep too early. I'll set my alarm but only to keep myself from waking up to early. I won't be able to concentrate on TV tonight. I'm excited. Do you still get excited?

We pointed nine coveys in two hours. It started sprinkling and we headed to the barbecue joint.

We moved 17 coveys in 6 hours, with a quick tail gate lunch. Panhandle was 60 degrees and light wind yesterday. It's nice to have them back.

I thought I was bad. Chris got up at 5:00 got stopped by the cops, beat us there, and had Sandy on point before our dogs peed.

Nah.
Just joking, I will look at the clock 2-3 times before the alarm goes off.



Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.
Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

I'd love to get excited about a hunt. But it would have to include scuba gear for me. Complete wash this season. I'm getting excited about next season.

This is what I get excited and giddy about. This big boy had 15 perfectly handled contacts after 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Saturday was one of those days we live for as quail hunters. I was with my best friend on the planet and two great dogs and as Mr.Ox says "The World Stood Still" for about 1.5 hours late Saturday. 19 coveys Saturday with two dogs, plus a lot of single and scattered work made for one of those afternoons that make you get excited about the next time you can get there.

No sense doing it any more if you did not get excited. I get excited about shooting a few dove. If I didn't I would quit hunting.
