Three shots and an empty plate

The commander and I went hunting yesterday. North of Hazen we saw a lot of grouse. If you could eat pheasant tracks we would have all the meat we needed. My shooting was rusty. The one pheasant I shot at flew into the sun. Tell me how they know to do that? At any rate I fired three quick round, wait I take that back, I forgot to take the safety off right away, so they were not quick rounds. Mr Ringneck flew away laughing. We came home empty handed. Got some much needed excercise. Nice sunny day today. May hunt again.
