Didnt get to hunt with dad due to opposite work schedules this year... heading to Covey Rise with him now for a morning shoot
Probably frowned upon on the OB for a mallard skeet shoot, but it's time spent with dad.
Will report back this afternoon

I have done it , enjoy it for what it is, the upland quail, chucker, pheasant shoot is my favorite if he is in decent enough shape to walk a little

I’ve reached a point where I really don’t care what most folks think of the activities that I choose to partake in. Most folks would criticize lots of things I’m involved in: KCs, ACTS retreats, adult Catholic education, high fence deer hunting on 7300 acres… I do what I want for the most part.
I’ve never been to covey rise but I’d go in a second, especially to spend time with pop. Shoot straight!

Enjoy your time with your Dad. You will cherish this day the rest of your life.

Jimbo has done some great work on that place. Love going there.

Looks like nothing but upvotes for you. Have fun.
Wish I was shooting today.

Please give us a review of your experience. I had to walk away from my duck lease due to mobility issues. After 58 years of doing the one thing I truly love, I did not shoot a duck. I know it will not be the same, but it will ease the pain. A few ducks to eat would be icing on the cake for me.

On our way to do the quail hunt now
I've got to say, I see why all the old timers hate steel. We're shooting #6 lead low brass and if you even shoot close to them they fall. Jesus I would love to shoot lead at ducks in the marsh.
Lodge is super nice. "Guide" was great, especially with the dogs. We bullshitted a while, passed on a few females to shoot males but ended up shooting everything.
We missed.... alot.... alot alot. It's not not like marsh hunting where they decoy in your face. Out of 30 birds, we had one circle back. The rest were 30 to 50 yard passing shots. And it was fun.
We're doing it again next year

You were allowed to shoot 30 or 30 released?
Posted on 2/9/24 at 12:58 pm to dwr353
We shot 30. It was way more than 30 released. They had a bunch walking around on the little levee that the group by us ground swatted too

Currently working my first teen retreat. I’ve directed two and been on a few more. I recognize they aren’t for everyone but if you find a better way to evangelize lukewarm guys let me know and I’ll sign up!Posted on 2/9/24 at 3:33 pm to dwr353

They let you stay till you kill what you pay for on the ducks, upland birds they do the best they can but only guarantee they release how many you pay for (usually a few extra and leftovers in the field) and they will try to hunt down the ones you missed, but do the best they can? Not near as aggressive with getting the missed birds as Wayne Thornhill, he will walk you 3 miles for one bird , and chew your arse out the whole time

Thank you for the response. I appreciate it.

Never a bad day outdoors, even on the worst days

Time is finite. Maximize the chances for memories with all family and friends in a way that connects with them.
My father is later 70s with COPD. He taught me almost everything I know about the outdoors. His great love is duck, quail and pheasant hunting, but his mobility inhibits it.
A few years ago, I took him and his best friend since 1st grade on a release pheasant and quail hunt in KS. Guide was awesome in the accomdations to get him into position on a side by side when the dogs pointed. We had a blast on a type of hunt I otherwise wouldn't have liked.
His buddy died the next year (within a month of cancer diagnosis... Get your poopers checked boys over 50). He still talks about that hunt, the road trip up with his buddy, and time spent

Good to see some retreat brothers.

The quail hunt was great just watching the dogs work. We popped a few pheasant and chukar too that weren't killed that morning.
I wish my dog wasn't bordering retarded after seeing those dogs

From my personal experience, great advice. Your world can change in an instant. Savor every day and thank God every night for the blessing of life.

Honestly I'd like to do this with my pow pow. He's in his 80s. They told us they can get him into position on a gold cart while the dog is on point... or even water swatting wounded mallards
