Default Central VA Dove Opener 9/1/19

Brought a pair Parker VH 16 gauge 0 frame 26” and Parker VH 16 gauge 1 frame 28” . Also two Mojo Voodo decoys and four regular Mojo decoys . Exactly 300 yards from the front door of my house . Took my ATV thru the neighbors pasture field parked on the edge , took my stuff across a small creek and setup perhaps fifty yards into a chopped cornfield !

Well 45 minutes and I’ve not fired the gun . I’ve seen maybe four but none close enough for me to risk a shot ( to many years of trap and skeet I keep an average on everything OMG). Guys on the other side of the field shot quite a bit the first twenty minutes , sounded like they were using unplugged semi’s LOL’s !

On the bright side and yes it’s bright out here today . A breeze is blowing so it’s rather nice sitting here !

Perhaps the smartphone use is spooking the doves?
