Doves

Well finally got off my butt and made time to do a little hunting. Quite a few doves when we arrived but I played the wind wrong and once the shooting started most of the birds bugged out.
After all the summer training the dog was a breaking fool. Somehow he lost a dove. Lots of little errors here and there. Shooting was way off. I ended up with 13 and Vincenzia brought home five. The hunt started at 83° and when it ended it was 62°. Also used the shotkam for the first time. I did a quick review of those videos and I guess I will have to be slower at moving the gun once I know a bird is going down. The reason being is it’s hard to tell the bird is going down as I move too fast to the next bird.
