Tyler and I hit the IV this morning......Didn't expect much, since it's gotten slower & slower with the melon, wheat, & corn fields replanted and irrigated.....Well, apparently there's still enough seeds in the fields to have them still coming in.....1st spot was OK.....2nd spot (water) was better.
Shot my dads old Humpy Browning A-5 that was given to him in 1966.....It was a gift from the Compton Hunting & Fishing for being the president that year.....50 years later, this little beauty still shoots lights out....
ps.....Another little story about this gun....After my dad received the gun, we went chukar hunting.....I didn't get any birds in the morning, but in the afternoon, I heard them calling up the canyon. So, I picked up the brand new shotgun and headed up.....A bunch of shots later, I had my 1st limit of wild chukar.....I was very excited and had a feeling of great accomplishment.....My elation would end quickly after I slipped and went endow down the mountain as I was heading back. My dads brand new Browning A-5 went flying down into the jagged rocks.....When I got to the gun, I could've cried.....Scratches, dings, and dents were embedded in the beautiful little 20..........When I finally got back to camp, I told my dad.....All he said was.....Well, now it's true chukar gun.....
