Decided to get in the game in Colorado!!!! A native of Colorado and I have never shot a limit here!!! Mostly because I go to Kansas, SD!! I have hunted Here, but mostly after a duck or Goose hunt to pick up a Rooster or two or some stray Quail!!!! Got out to the field I picked at 8:45 a.m. 10-15 MPH Wind and about an inch of the white stuff!! Only took the 2, 10 month old pups, because Bleu has a bad wheel from horse play with the two pups! Decided to take the 28 Gauge today and what a day it was!!! Not a lot of birds , but tight flushes and mostly Roosters!! 4 shots , 4 Roosters, because we lost one cripple that fell that the pups did not see because of the cover!!! Thought we had him, but didn't!! My Buddy limited as well!!!!!

It is one I saved my pennies for for 5 years!!!!! 686 Silver pigeon , 2 barrel combo!!! Have a set of 20 gauge barrels with forearm that I just change when I want!!! It shoots sweet!!!!!:cheers:
 
Bleu...

I particularly love photos that show a few birds , good looking dogs ( the more the merrier)and a fine looking shooting piece.

Throw one in of a grizzled old seasoned hunter and that puts it over the top.

Were both past the stage in out lives that were never gonna make the cover of a LL Bean magzine, or even a hunting rag, but were still out there with our bird dogs getting it done.

+100

I bet youre not done for the season..:)

Love the 28/20 combo.

I have the 686/20

If you get the chance.. read Dan Nelsons article in the Oct 2011 Dakota Country magazine. Its right up your alley, I think.
 
Bleu, :coolpics: Good for you, on getting your limit. It's not always easy to do in Co. Have you been doing any waterfowling yet this Year?????? No birds down here yet.:)
 
:coolpics:. Glad to see you get your limit. I have been hunting CO the past couple years and have yet to get my limit. I came pretty close a few times. Bad shooting is usually the culprit. Was this from yesterday or Saturday?

Sunday!!!!:cheers:
 
When all things come together, sure makes that drive home nice! Looks like a great day....good dogs, good friends, and birds to come home! Congrats!

This is the first year I have been able to connect with a limit as well. Although my problem typically is shooting and the third bird has usually eluded me.

Glad for your success!

I was out in it Sunday as well. Only ended up with one. It sure seemed as if I found every hen in the area. I prob seen over a hundred hens yesterday. One spot about 50 came up and not one rooster out of the group. Roosters flushed way ahead like they got hammered all day Saturday. Had some great points from the dog's but all were hens. Still had a great day though. We should open a thread for everyone to post their pic's with limits in CO for 2011-2012. I think if you don't have pics than it never happened :p. I would open it up but I don't have my limit yet this year haha.

Nice work! Gotta love getting a limit; especially your first time out in CO for a while. I'm two for two on limits this year. I'll have to post up some pics.

I was dying to get out there this weekend, but settled on Vegas instead. :D I'm heading out this weekend to chase whitetails. Maybe I'll shoot a rooster or two as well.
