Bacci's birthday!!!

My boy is 10 today and what better way to celebrate than to take him hunting.  It's cold and windy today with some snow flurries.  I finally met up with Greg again and this time the parking lot was packed.  We started on the field side and as soon as we went in Bacci went on point.  He put up a cock bird which I shot.  We then went to the end of the field and seeing that everyone was moving to the second field, we turned around to go up the hill.  No one had been up this way yet.  We went to the top and straight across, then around.  After going completely around, Bacci caught scent of a bird (almost where Harley had put one up last time).  We got ready and a cock bird went up.  I let Greg shoot first and he missed on both shots.  I then took him. (I gave him to Greg though).  We worked our way to the second field and met up with Amil there. Together we walked all the way to the flats.  While on our way, Harley put up a hen bird that we shot at and missed.  It was a far shot, but we missed anyway.  We walked all the way to the road and when we crossed the street, Harley put up a cock bird that all three of us missed.  We saw about where he landed and pursued him.  He flushed again and yet again we missed.  He flew back across the road so we went back across and believe it or not, Harley found him again.  He put him up and yet again we missed!!  It would have been frustrating if it wasn't so comical.  We worked our way back towards the trucks and called it a day.  It was a lot of fun.
