Default 2010 hunting memories

I enjoy looking at hunting pics, especially of the younger generation.

I posted some pics of some special pics in another thread, but they were for the wrong year!
After talking to the moderator, we decided to put them in a seperate thread by itself.
So, here they are.
This one has been posted before.
My son's first attempt at training a hunting dog resulted in a perfect point of his first pheasant, steady to the shot, and perfectly recovered bird.

Cat
This one is also very special to me, as it was dajimmer's first bird with his muzzle loading shotgun , which I showed him how to load.
Another perfect slammed point from Dakota , resulting in a perfect right-left shot chukar for the lad .

dropping something from the sky with a muzzleloading shotgun must have been unreal. Nice pics

it's a whole bunch of "YAHOO!" for sure!
here's a pic of my berreta O/U muzzle loader with a chukar.
That bird was shot in the head only!
I took down some pheasants the same weekend with it as well, but didn't get any pictures!

Chukars are FAST!!
small, but they are very tasty .
We got extra this year on a deal because the pheasants weren't flying too well.
Not to mention the 150 or so that got out by mistake!!! OOPS!!
