I wish our dove season was split and had a later portion. Over the past 6-8 years we have started seeing more and more dove winter over, and they can be quite numerous in harvested grain fields with good amounts of waste grain. It would make the low quail numbers more bearable if one could take dove also. I'm sure my dogs would not mind.
Thanks for posting your pictures. I enjoyed your accounts of the two days. |

It's a 12. Went again this morning and took an A5 Sweet Sixteen shooting Remington High-power 7 1/2 in modified. Killed seven but missed too many easy shots. That is the only problem with taking a different gun every day but what the heck are they for if you don't use them? Man was it cold. In the low teens with a twenty mile an hour North wind, making it about zero. The teenager I took said it was so cold he could not get his safety off until the dove was out of range.

I plan on making another trip to the fields tomorrow. The weather here is supposed to get very cold on Monday, even though its been a cold week here. I am hoping the approaching cold will put them in feeding mode! You have a had some good days lately! Thanks for posting.

The drought ruined the corn crop here. So nothing was cut in September and October, and the ears are 1/3 the normal size. The machine missed so much corn there are bushels on the ground or they may have bushhogged some of it, thus every dove for miles has found it. But it is hard to get up leaving a warm bed and be there at daybreak freezing to death with a North wind in your face. But once I start shooting I forget I am cold.
