The 2005 Dove Hunt has come and gone. It
was a great time despite the fact that we were missing some
key people. Gone, maybe permanently, was our fearless East-Texas
human smellhound - Richard Harris due to matirimonial lock down.
We were also missing Mr. 12 Birds 1 Shot Sean and Dennis "I've
Been Shot!" Cagwin.
This years hunt was marked with some other significant changes.
Due to female occupation in the normal hunt shack, we had to
stay at the Knight Family Cracker Barrel, complete with a full
antique general store. Fortunately for all participants, we
did have a new TV with a DVD player to watch one better movies
of our parents' day -"Shaft". The hunt potential was
great, but since no skeet shooting was allowed or "good
death" was to be had, my shooting was texas style. 1 box
- 1 bird.
I did get a good run down on the how good the Aggies were and
how they were going whip Clemson. I also got to hear all the
details from John Brasher (newly married and offiically a share
cropper) on how the Long Horns are going to win it all - blah,
blah, blah.
It was also good to see Steve Hahn as well as a rare glimpse
of Rob Harris aka Robert Downey Jr. Anyway, it was a great time,
especially getting the oppertunity to introduce a few new choice
vocabulary words into the Dallas - Austin environment. |
