wingshooter, very nice!
Is it my imagination, or have I seen that plate somewhere in the Dallas-Irving-Fort Worth area ? |

Oh.......I guess that's what the "Big D" is for.........
I'm in Irving for work 1-3 weeks a year. So far all I've done is shoot at the trap and skeet range on Luna Rd......I'm hoping to set up a hunt sometime, when I'm there over a weekend. |

Wingshooter - we were there on the opener last weekend. You earn every bird there with shoe leather.
Here's are a few pics:

Highcountry-
Great pics, thanks for sharing. Every bird is hard won. Here is another of the bird that took five hours of hard work to bag:
