Drove out to my Treasurer's land today in search of doves; saw some, shot at one, missed and had an armed stroll about the countryside. Pleasant.
The neighbouring farms seemed to be getting lots of action, judging from the sound of multiple shotguns firing off, but things were quiet in my neck of the woods, so I changed tack and shot targets (hubcaps) with the .45. This increased the volume to an acceptable level and kept my side of things up - I felt. Sure enough, the neighbouring shotgun reports started to change to centrefire and I didn't feel so bad about missing the birds. Everyone was just out with their guns by the sound of things, and what's wrong with that? Nothing, in my book.
Great to get out in the field, off again on Monday and who knows, might get some birds.
On a different theme, just heard that the new Japanese Leader's wife believes she was abducted by aliens to Venus, which she found pleasantly green, and that there's some sort of plan to fly the Chinese flag on the Whitehouse. A strange confluence of aspects.
Cheers,
LSP
