Just curious how many hunters  we have on board?  I am primarily a bird/small game hunter.  My wife and I have two bird dogs (or lap dogs depending who you talk to).  My wife was never around hunting so I guess I'm lucky she "allows" it, the only stipulation she has is when it comes into the house it has to look like it does in the store. So lets hear some stories!

Try Dove hunting Oopsie.  Great exercise, low cost, and a good time with your friends and family...

Walk about 5 miles or less depending on how much you want to work through the corn fields or wild sunflower fields or untouched land.  Then you achieve  your limit of 12 white wings.  Head to the vehicle to clean them which is far quicker and much cleaner than a big animal. 
Take that first sip of cold beer in that 95 degree Texas heat and it never tastes so good.   Then head back to the casa, wrap the breasts in bacon with a jalapeño in the middle and throw them on the grill.  From there my choice is a Jack and Coke while I cook.  Great Appetizers. Some people put cheese like pepper jack or monterey jack in the middle of the wrap..its all good no matter what. 

Nice German Crawdad- just watch her around rattlers..I have had several friends who have had Germans die from rattlesnake bites and not being able to get there in time to save them. Best small bird hunting dog I have ever seen was a German short hair who was a pure specimen.  Muscular and beautiful. She used to find a smooth large rock when the hunting was slow and come to you and drop it on your foot.  So you had to pay attention so you wouldn't get hurt.(ha-ha). Anyways you could through this rock and no matter if it was in the water or or at night  .....she would find it and would not stop wanting to play until her owner/Dad/friend whatever you call it...I don't categorize when it comes to that ....but he would just whisper to her " thats enough"  and she would stop.  Great sweet dog but she died from a rattlesnake bite as well this past fall.  Sad day.
