I am not so fortunate to live in a dove rich area. It is predominantly big woods with scattered farms in the valleys. Add to that the fact that our game commission does not permit us to manipulate a field for doves and it makes it hard to find good shooting. We start driving about mid-August looking for a field(s) that the birds are working which is usually a cut grain field. Sometimes, like this year, it is particularly difficult. And then, we have to secure permission to hunt the field. It was last Wednesday before it all finally came together. Not the best field we have ever had but still looks good and the neighboring barn roof had 150 pigeons on it to boot. We'll find out later today. Have fun everyone!
