mex doves
Many years ago like 25 or more 4 of us booked with a solo guy in Laredo that picked us up at the border in his Sububan drove us to Victoria Mex put us in a half decent hotel took us out to a pre spotted field and we started to shoot all the doves we wanted mostly white wings, I shot a 20 VHE Parker about 1904 and others shot their Rem 1100 which jammed constantly with Mex shells. if I shot 10 doves I think I lost count at 500 total. Parker never missed a beat. next thing we know bird boys gathered mesquite built a fire and proceeded to cook doves along with guacamole and beans plus cold beer. they hooked hammocks in the trees and we took siesta til afternoon hunt. Whole trip with shells and all including hotel cost me for 3 days about $500 bucks. Will never see that again!! Wish I still had the VHE 20. Bought a 20 and a 28 from a lady in Houston for $3000, The 28 was stolen in San Antonio in a late nite motel break in never found but insurance money helped buy my first flats Tx scooter boat which I caught a ton of redfish out of! Now that's a story.
