The real joy of hunting for me is experiencing beautiful countryside and taking in God's wonderful creation. Having never been to Kansas this was a real treat for me. The birds cooperated and we had some very successful hunts. All told our group of seven killed over a 100 birds. The dogs worked tirelessly and the shooting was true more often than not. When it wasn't some light ribbing ensued to let the shooter know it didn't go unnnoticed, but it was all in fun, and the good shots were congratulated with hearty admiration.
Politics was actually enjoyable in the presence of like minded inviduals mulling the consequences of an Obama presidency around the camp fire at night, without the constant barrage of MSM telling us how great he is. I haven't even caught up on the "latest news" since getting back. I suspect it is much of the same. Now is the time to vote and see who America chooses.
I will let some pictures tell the rest of the story of our hunt.

Hey, nice shots (pun intended)! what a great get away for the two bros! isn't Fall one of the great seasons of the year? so glad you could have a little retreat for fun, fireside chats, freedom to do what you choose without any interference - isn't America the greatest land there is? let's all vote to keep her that way - no radical changes needed - we just need to preserve what we already have by defending our constitution and our hard won liberties! and thanks for sharing your story, N. T.
Beautiful story---I felt like I was there! The words were lovely, as were the photos. Thanks for sharing them with us, and I'm glad for you guys (if not a little jealous) and your welcome respite.
Beautiful McCain country! (I sure hope that was prophetic for the outcome tomorrow :-). Even the post is a welcome respite in the midst of all the political mumbo-jumbo going on these last weeks.
It was perfect weather wasn't it? The photos really capture the peaceful respite it must have been after some longs months of intensity for you. Congrats to your brother, too, on so many levels last week!
It was a nice feeling knowing the two of you were together enjoying mutual interests while I was spending days with my own sister enjoying our interests together.
So happy you both had a great time and a successful hunt.
