This opening day might be my last on our friends farm. He's handed control of the place over to his son and my guess is things will change drastically. No ducking this year I know for sure, and he's mentioned to Dad that he thinks his boy won't want to fool with the dove field either. All good things come to an end I suppose, it hurts me that Dad won't always have a place to go though.

Enjoy this opening day Destry and I am really sorry for your loss, mainly just because of your father and this tradition is going to end. Just once I would like to know the tradition and be part of it, you are a lucky man to have all those memories with your Dad dove shooting. Eric

I've for the most part given up dove shooting here in central Virginia . Some of the farmers are kind and let most anybody shoot while others are less giving shall we say and that is truly their right .

The thread on here earlier about the Eurasian dove in NM , AZ and TX has me quite interested in heading to that region for a week to ten days in say February or March !
