Deadly hour at the dairy today...

[L.Leon]

I've taken my Jack Russell Riley down to the dairy a bunch of times. But never while I was actively pesting, today was that day. He behaved like a champ and went around sniffing out the rats holes. While I set up for some very cooperative starlings. Lots of young, unwary ones, I took twenty shots and killed 19 starlings at ranges from 30 to 40 yards. I was under the lower roofed structure in the background and hidden from the starlings. Was only there for an hour. Now it's off for a little kayak paddle with the wife on the local creek.

Sounds like a wonderful day! Enjoy and stay safe out on the water.

@l.leon good job. AND it is always good to have a puppy along hunting!!!!

 

[L.Leon]

@ram2jeep, thanks. We're actually kayaking on our Old Town Loon tandem kayak (really a canoe with a deck) on a very mellow, slow running, wide creek. @blackpaw, enjoyed my pups company immensely, though he did scare off all the rats.

Luis, great shooting and I'm sure Riley was just thrilled to be out with dad hunting! Hope the kayak paddle with your wife was beautiful. Nice photo.

Thank you @ranchibi, the kayaking is peaceful and a great way to be together. I do all the paddling, she's the queen in front, but she brings good snacks and drinks...

Ahhh... a match made in heaven ......

19 of 20…batting 950. That had to be very satisfying.

Thanks Mike, at those ranges in good conditions the starlings are in trouble. I'm regularly sniping the black walnuts that fall from the trees on my property out to 66 yards. So I'm sending with high confidence when going after critters.
