Well, being out there and having a good time with my boys is worth it. I have had these shells for about two years now. My brother in law gave me a few cases of No.8 and I still have about 4 boxes left. I am sure it will be painful once they run out. Prices are crazy nowadays. I need to practice on being a better shot so I don't waste ammo.

I usually buy the federal or winchester 7 1/2 shot, a case is about $24 at Walmart. I shoot the low brass rounds for doves, quail and squirrel. I save the high brass for the pheasants and grouse.

Really nice pic of the youngsters there. This was the first year for my oldest. He is 6. I have taken him out twice with me now and he flat out loves it. Anyway, good pic.

An Ice cold Lone Star Beer will wash it down just fine.

best recipe on the planet! Especially with the lonestar! im going this evening if it quits raining, then im guiding a group this wkend in hondo. how are the birds flying down south?
