Default Dove Tales

Dove season is approaching. I am looking for someone to Dove hunt with so I can write an article about it for the Parker Pages. I have never been on a Dove hunt but have wanted to for years. So if you would like to be featured in an article along with your Parker's, dogs etc., please PM me with details. I pay my own expenses, provide my own guns and ammo and transportation. If, you make good biscuits you have an edge. Best,
Mike

Mike,

You are more likely to be invited to meet the Queen of England when she is in town than to be invited to a dove hunt in Central Kentucky. I have a dear friend down the road that has a dove field. I may see him Sunday and I will call in a favor to see if I can't have you as a guest.

Charlie thank you for the kind endorsement. Your biscuits are going to be hard to beat.
Harry, you could tell your royal friends that your station in life has elevated to the level where you now have a gun bearer with you. Dean might have to expand the issue if we're going to tell your story lol

Mike,

You're on the list. Our host normally shoots Sunday's. So I'm guessing the 6th of September. His sunflowers are way ahead of schedule due to the wet weather. We will know more as September approaches.

Mike, should you want to try your hand at hot weather doves, give me a holler, plenty of opportunities. We Texans live for dove shooting!

Harry, thank you for the invite. I know you had to call in a pretty big market to make that happen. I will be available whenever you give the word. Give my gratitude to your friend for me. I'm really excited about this!

Mark, thank you for the invite. Let me see how things work out before I commit. I will come and hunt with you at some point. Thanks again!

We normally go into the field about 1:30 and close the field at 5:00. Most everyone is out way before then. The birds will start flooding into the fields a little after five. We do our best not to disturb them so the field can often be shot twice a week. Our host will have thousands of dollars into the field and hopes it will draw birds through the end of the season. If you can keep the poachers and the "across the fencers" out you stand a good chance of having a good field.

This opening day might be my last on our friends farm. He's handed control of the place over to his son and my guess is things will change drastically. No ducking this year I know for sure, and he's mentioned to Dad that he thinks his boy won't want to fool with the dove field either. All good things come to an end I suppose, it hurts me that Dad won't always have a place to go though.
