My favorite was actually my son's first youth season hunt for pheasants. My old Gordon Setter went on point ahead and my son and two of his best friends who were also on their first hunt. They walked in on the point. There were 5-6 pheasants that flushed. My son was on the left and the first rooster flew to the right and he could not shoot, the other boys let plenty of lead fly but did not connect. A Rooster then flew to the left and my son killed it clean. A couple more birds got up as he was killing the first bird and the first one that flew his way was another hen. I was worried that he might shoot it, but I hear him yell hen. Just then another Rooster got up and came his way, and he drilled it. So he got his 2 bird youth season limit over point with two shots fired, his first time in the field. He unloaded his gun and help walk to get his buddies some shots.
Yep, I was pretty proud of him. He was safe and sure of his targets before he fired a shot, and when he did, he hit his shots.
