My daughter and I headed to the lease and left Mama and the baby at home. Nothing like some father/daughter time. She is about to turn 4 and has been going to the lease since she was almost 2. This was her first dove hunt, so I wasn't sure how she would handle the guns going off, the heat and birds...she did awesome. Didn't take her long to recognize which birds we were hunting and didn't take her long to learn to yell at "Daddy" when some where coming in. And boy...she sure is tough on Daddy when he misses bang

Limited out both afternoon hunts (let her sleep in both mornings)

My father, sister, BIL and some good friends were all there and there were plenty of other young kids running around camp to help entertain her.

She is ready...

First dove of the weekend


Dove hunting is hard work grin

Figured out my spot was a little better than my sister's, so I had her move over to see if she could get some birds. Traded her guns and let her shoot the 12 gauge instead of the 20.


Some time at camp...
Wouldn't be a weekend in West Texas without catching a snake...

Great pics and glad you had a great time. I drove by Ivie on Saturday and you can't see water from the bridge. That area needs rain quickly!
