3 sprige 8 quipe 1 cote pheasant Smison Nov 19, 1971 This is India weekend at the House of Commons. Betty came up until me Fri. evening, and this morning we went to no.5 double (I was last choice). He spent a quiet morning, watching the action at other blends. Several times big "coils" of sprige would start tumbling into our pond - sometimes many hundreds of birds coming in at once. One time nobody shot and a good many hundred came down before a shot was fired. They came out on no.5, pretty high actually, but Betty and I got three of them. I doubled or coiled and Betty nailed a nice 8at hen. That was our only score. Betty shot a few times at teal, redgeon and dove without getting anything. After lunch I went sprige hunting in north end y Grand Jeme, there being virtually no birds in our south end (after the big concentration we had last Wednesday). Birds were scattered - I walked long and hard, and couldn't hit them when they did fly up, but I finally captured a limit. Also gunned a nice big pheasant code that was added to the trophy basket. We had a fine turkey banquet in the evening, joined by the Juranos and Walgs. Allen and Harder had good sprig shots this day in blend 2ad 6, with Woody and Dennis respectively.
