Limit on the Line or Doves aren't Dopes

I went for a little dove hunt on Friday morning with two great gents...Brian Hobbs and French McLemore.  The company was awesome the coffee was great and the birds were flying!  I started the morning with 100 shells in high hopes of taking a bag limit with a little better SPB (Shell Per Bird) than my previous outings this year (14 SPB).  As the sun rose and the first birds of the morning sailed over my head, I thought to myself "Self, this is going to be a great morning of dove hunting!"  I raised the gun took my first three shots...and the rest is history.  I walked away from that early Friday morning hunt with 54 shells and a whopping total of 0 birds (needless to say this brings my SPB down a few notches).  My fellow sportsmen faired a bit better than myself downing 9 birds between the two men with around 60 shells fired total.  I would like to say congratulations to Brian Hobbs for the magnificent exhibition wielding the power of the mighty 12 gauge!  Great shooting buddy...so what's the point of this blog, besides the reduction (yet again) of my man points, which by now I am undoubtedly low on, and to acknowledge the shooting accuracy of my confidants?  As I drove home from that hunt, I had an epiphany!  I looked to the sky not 2 minutes from my home and saw the sight of 15 doves (a bag limit) perched high on the power lines that provide energy for my home...Isn't that just like God's sense of humor?  My life's provisions are met by God not my ability to make things happen!  Although this could be an easy excuse for why I can't shoot, I quickly came to the realization that I don't have to worry about having the things I need, God knows my needs and He provides for them!  He is my provision!  Take heart today in knowing that God will meet your needs and will "work all things out for the good of those who LOVE HIM!"  

And just so you would believe the epiphany God gave me, I pulled over to the side of the road and took a picture of the "Limit on the Line."  

And if you counted the birds there are only 13 pictured, 2 more were closer to me I just couldn't get them all in the picture and still be able to tell they were birds...

DREAM BIG AND PURSUE IT ADAMANTLY!
