Heat stroke weather here in Texas too.
Hottest dove opening in memory was 110 degrees. It was so hot that even sleeping out under the stars, no one slept until the wee small hours. I am too old for that now and will stay in the AC at 110 degrees.

I hear you !

Five years ago my gunsmith buddy and I had deer and bear Damage Control Permits in a fellows apple/peach orchard . The first animal we got in July of that year it was 102 or 104 in the SHADE . Needless to say anytime we shot a deer or bear we got it as quick as possible and made for home .

We supposedly have DCP's coming this year for two places for deer . To be honest if they fall thru it won't hurt my feelings

VH 16 28 in. cyl/full with new-to-me RST shells . . . we'll see. I've had good success with a Model 21 (20 ga. 28 in. mod/full) for the last several years. By the way, I've found that a dove can fly through #8s, but 7 1/2s tend to bring'em on down. Our season in Virginia begins on September 2nd; I'll hunt with the same guys I've hunted with for 50 years.

Thanks, Charlie. The VH was my father's #1 bird gun; when he gave it to me his only comment was: "You'll get your limit with this one." I've never shot a limit with it, but the first time I took it out, I shot a double on wild birds (bobwhite).
