Just returned from our annual Texas hunt. It was incredible! Six hunters killed twelve birds in two days. All birds were killed with 20gauges and handloads.

Doc,

Great hunt and great birds!

Did they plant those flowers just for the obligatory bird-shots? Beautiful.

Cheers.

Very nice. I've killed lots of Rios, but always dreamed of taking one that came in strutting thru some bluebonnets!

as nice as your birds are i am way more impressed with the young girl that can run those two trumpets in her shirt pocket, now that is impressive. congrats on a fine trip with the family!! blessed doesn't even begin to describe it.

gobbler 336. Thank you Sir! She's just getting started on the trumpet. The one that did the most damage-really all the damage was the Zach Farmer Pink Ivory. The other call is a Frank Cox Pink Ivory. She plays it well but just doesn't have quite the range of pitch on it yet as she does the Farmer. Her little brother is packing a Farmer Desert Ironwood. He can cluck well but hasn't found the "yelp" yet. He did however manage to call a couple of birds in-he missed that one. Thankfully he recovered and killed his two birds! He and I are off to Northern Nebraska in a couple of weeks to chase Merriams, so the Fat Laddy hasn't sung for us quite yet.
All the best,
Doc
