I just got back from pheasant hunting in South Dakota. We had great, mild weather most of the time and good hunting and a good time. An added bonus was the ganglion cyst on the first joint of my thumb burst internally due to either carrying a shotgun all day or the act of firing same. I'd been rubbing it with frankincense oil because a friend is a great believer in that, but I went out there with a cyst and came home without one. I'm just going to let my friend credit the frankincense oil and move on.

I've never had to lead a bird almost 20 yds to hit it, and that was a very new experience.
