Opening Day

[Lawn Cher']

A hunter and his friend were quail hunting near Highway 281 in Russell, KS early one cold opening morning. Suddenly, the dogs pointed a large covey still in their roost. Moving quickly toward the dogs, he removed the safety from his shotgun. As he was about to bust the covey, his friend alerted him to a funeral procession passing slowly down Hwy 281.

The hunter quickly turned on his safety, set the shotgun down, took off his hat, bowed his head and then closed his eyes in prayer.

His friend was stunned. "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen you do. You are indeed the kindest man I have ever known, and I feel lucky to call you a friend."

The hunter shrugged. "Yeah, well, we were married for 35 years."

Now, if that would have been me, I would have been in the procession.

However, I never take a drive through good quail country without my trusty 20 guage. Wife would understand stopping a procession if the covey was a good one.

They're doing great. I think Matthew will be ready for hunting by next season......or at least old enough to have a deer tag in his name!
