In a normal season, one which hasn't been sabotaged by 5th Column Weather Activists, we'd have flushed a few birds from the treelines and adjacent fields. As it was, a couple of avian acrobats lifted off from the grass and a few shots were fired, but they were long and the birds got away to fight again another day.

Still, the armed stroll was good in itself; there you are in the country under the big Texan sky, gun in hand. There's peace in that, for me, and excitement too, when you get that split second of explosive action.

If you're fixing to strap on a cow skull as some kind of magic protection against 5.56, don't. It won't work, trust me.

So that was that. A good day was had by all and who knows, maybe the dove will start flying at some point soon. Hill County hopes.
Happy Labor Day,
