MY TRIP TO PARKER AZ
Aug. 31st went to work early so I could leave for Parker AZ. by 1230, ended up getting there at around 430 in the afternoon since i stopped for about an hour and ate. after my Dad showed up we ate dinner and headed out to the area we were going hunt the next morning. Arrived out in the desert at about 8 drank until about 11 tried getting sleep (didnt happen)
Sep 1st had the first set of hunters other than ourselves show up at 245am so we decided to get up. had a beer and waited until 6 to start shootin (about the time I could actually see the birds) legal shooting time is 30 min before sunrise. Shooting was great. first shot of the day wittnessed by my Dad was one shot and two birds, after that i hit pretty good.

Day two of the hunt was just as good had our limits within an hour
Day three wasnt as good, still a lot of birds but all the shit i must have been pissed off at was settled the first two days, I couldnt hit shit. I shot almost 50 times for 10 birds, first day was 17 and the second day was 16. About half way through the hunt i went and grabbed acouple beers for my dad and myself, drank one with him cracked open the second one and as I was walking back to my spot had two come in, agian with one shot hit both of the birds, one handed with the beer in my other hand. Grandpa Dad and lil Bro saw this one and couldnt believe it. the next 4 birds where one handed shots and that was my limit. This day was also really hairy, since it was the third day a lot of birds where flying high and out of range but most were flying only a few feet off the ground. I was hit 2-3 times but was far enough away to only receive a little sting. My dad wasn't that lucky he ended up with a few pellets breaking skin, another guy I dont know ended up leaving with some pretty deep wounds.
Fourth fifth and sixth day were slower but still had a full limit and days prior to that were ended with a jetski on the river and fun in the sun
