Did you have doves early? Seems i'm seeing less around here but still a lot. Better get to realoading I do it kind of like writing stories Dean.:whistle:

we had doves up till about 1 week ago my uncle who lives about 3 miles from me says he doesnt have any doves either .. and hes got cattle on his place which usally helps with doves....this morning there was not 1 dove setting on the power lines that crosses the field...and so goes the mystery of the missing doves..... charlie

Charlie, if you can't figure out what happened to your doves, just blame George Bush.:dh:

Had further good reports from the opening day farm. Our friend that owns the place says there's been a flock of about 40 pigeons feeding on the hillside and that he's got that spot reserved for me as he knows my fondness for shooting them.

A few decoys should really make for some sport. They were there in that same area last year and I killed about 15 along with some doves and two crows that came a little too close to the pigeon decoys. A grand afternoon for certain, I'm hoping for a repeat.

I got an invited to an afternoon hunt an hour south of me. Reports of birds are good. I can only hope that I take my A game to the field. My sunflowers are not ripe yet. I'll try shooting over harvested tomato fields this weekend.

Man I wish you all luck, I would love to try my hand at doves.... but in Michigan they are songbirds......

Here in CT also Eric.

They really sing down in Texas when they catch a load of #8 in the butt!
When you miss they sing "Dixie"...:whistle:

It was a character builder yesterday afternoon at 95 degrees. Most of the morning shooters got their limits. I was the high in the afternoon shoot with 13 in the bag. I lost some in the corn field or would have gotten my limit.
