I just told the guy to either go home or go back to his spot to hunt, but to let me get back to hunting. At the end of the day, he asked me how many I had. He guessed 8, and when I told him I had my limit of 12 he said "Of course, I saw you knock down 3 at once." Now, does this count as a triple? I shot one as it came in, then another right after it as it came in, and then a third that swung in right behind me. They were all one after another, but not flying together. I got to mount the gun three times instead of just once. I have never shot a true triple on doves.
As far as my shotgunning skills are concerned, I usually get plenty of respect from my fellow hunters. Even had my dad pay me a compliment about it once at a dinner over a friend's house when shooting skills came up, and to get a compliment from my dad is pretty rare.
As far as I am concerned, any day in the field hunting, at the range shooting, on the water fishing, or on the rode biking is a good day, even if there are a couple of rode bumps. A bad day of hunting is better than a good day working, so on and so forth.
By the way GOB, almost got maters and taters mixed up in my mind for a second. Thanks for reminding me what maters are. Too many miles on the bike today that has left me brain dead.
