had a blast....regardless

[mmashburn]

fortunate enough to have a lot of hunting oppurtunity is a blessing. Time is precious and i waste a lot of it according to guys who want to shoot birds. I havent bowhunted or gunhunted deer for a couple years. Or anything else for that matter. Spent a lot of time locating quail instead. Had a great year by my standards,'which are low'. Hunted alot, killed few. Only got skunked in Missouri once, maybe, this year. Averaged ten miles a day walking though. loved every minute and so did the dogs. Biggest day for shooting was 6 birds. Had some rough times in Kansas also. Thank god for south Dakota. All in all i wouldnt trade this season for anything. Had what i consider a cull dog with no talent flip the switch. That makes it worth it. Sorry to ramble. Just hate to see another season go.
