"He taught him horsemanship, archery and how to wield lasso, rein and stirrup, and what and when and how, the rites of of convivial society, of formal ceremony and the symposium; hawking, falconry and how to hunt with the cheetah; what was justice or the lack of it; what the throne and the crown meant; how to deliver orations and how to go to war and lead an army."

Unproductive...
... but extremely pleasant opening day, on Pieter Ditmars' Dunhill sheep ranch south of town. We saw one dove. Pete shot it.
SB with Model 12 20, PD with old Orvis AyA sidelock. The food and company beat the shooting.
heheheh. We(3 of us)limited out in 26 minutes and came in by 8 for a decadent breakfast which sent me back to bed. Typically a cold snap follows, they all leave (to go to NM) and we'll have nothing until duck opens. The temperature is already dropping.

Hi Steve
Good to see you have made a start, and are enjoying life .
I always fell that a day out hunting, with a friend , and a dog, is always productive, game or no game !
