Sorenson's Nov 28, 1974 Although I was first choice on our job, I accepted an invitation from Bill Marsh to shoot in the main club. I went to Grand, Bill to Bilmou double. It didn't matter though, because no flight developed on the big yard. At daylight a pair of mallards came by me as I got the greenbed. An hour later a little card of 5 canvasback came lowing by me at about 40 yds. as I missed a big drake both barrels. Bill shot only one magnificent shot and quit at 5:30. I left at 10:30. Although there were spruce overhead all morning none came down to the yard until 10:10 PM when two drakes dropped in at the west end. Until then countless flocks had given us a circle or two as they left. On our yard the boys had 5 ducks of miscellaneous kinds. Woody had a bit of action at #2, but his bag included a teal and a mergan. After lunch we went for pheasants, but well-executed surround maneuvers of hot corner, Lincoln yard, and the north sumg yielded a total of three birds. We found a concentration of several hundred doves in scrub cottonwood along the canal north of hot corner, but we couldn't find any way to get any shooting. I got one bird -- only dove among the four of us! A few hawks are hanging about the ranch now, as two pounce hit on the Bilmou yard near me. He saw two javiere falcons as we drove out.
