My brother has some land with birds. We watched 6 toms and about 18 hens this morning. They come right by the blind set up by his shop. Getting birds close won't be an issue. Keeping her still may be the issue. The youth season starts in about 3 weeks. I will pick up some light dove loads and let her start shooting Coke cans for practice. She can handle light loads out of that gun. In fact, they are about 100 yards out his front window right now. I can't wait.
