Default Dove Hunting Is Very Humbling.

Very first shot from my new to me Parker at live game was a score.
From there it was more misses than hits, but that’s dove hunting.
I was using my brass BP shotshells. (that adds much fun to the hunt)
Pictures of the two farms I recently attained permission to hunt on.

Mike,

That looks like beautiful country. I sure know what you mean about dove hunting being humbling. I have gotten into my second box of shells each of the four hunts I have been on. I have been twisted into the ground trying to get on a bird. It is just time to pull the trigger.... and again... and you laugh out loud at yourself or call out to the dove, "fly on you heart shot out #%*!". After shooting clays all summer I have to shorten my lead on dove, but a snappy follow through is a must. Keep after it and good luck.

Harry

Sounds like a great time. That farmland sure looks a lot like southern York county or possibly Lancaster county PA to me?

Cheers
Marcus

It's nice to see some corn down around here. I think it will be a few more weeks before the corn on the farms I hunt starts to come down.

Cheers
Marc

The corn is being harvested around here now, I think it's do to the very dry conditions.
