Here birdie, birdie, birdie....

Dove hunting has always been one of my favorite Fall family activities adn we started Lena Kate this year. It appears she is going to be a great bird dog in the next few years. She spent most of the time in the truck with Mimi but she wasn't scared of the shotgun shots as I expected and if you ask her what the gun says, she answers, "BOOM!" What a sweet little country girl she is. I'm glad to see she is taking after her Mama. She even helped take Papa the birds to clean after the hunt. Believe it or not I shot 12 birds the next night and we quit well before sundown. My Uncle Ray gave me some good tips and they seemed to work. We've been hunting in his sesame field and birds are everywhere. I really like the thrill of pulling the trigger and actually seeing them hit the ground. I'm always surprised when I actually hit one flying through the sky:) Yes, as a matter-of-fact, I am a country girl and I love it. Here are a few shots I took..haha, no pun intended.

Chilling in Daddy's chair before we started shooting. I know, this girl needs some camo!!!

You want me to hold that bird Mimi?

Future bird dog in training ;)
Have another, Papa.
Papa, this is hard work!

A feather for you!

I have one more Mimi.

All gone.

Careful Dear.

Mimi had my camera with Lena Kate in the truck and snapped this of Papa-handsome Daddy!
Have a blessed week!
