We have doves here and a season but it is hard to find any concentration of birds and we are not permitted to manage a dove field. Nevertheless I am waiting anxiously because I want to use my VH 12 that is choked full and fuller for the first time on real birds. I have been smashing clays with it but cannot wait to try it on doves.
Although I am awaiting dove season, grouse season is only two months away. With morning temperature at 48 this morning I took the dogs out for the first run of the year. Moved 4 grouse in a bit over an hour. Our bird numbers have been way down the last two years so this is good news for me. Will October never come!
