DOVES BETWEEN BLIZZARDS

[Double Lab]

Mosby is looking good there Jerry. Any dove shoot is a good dove shoot.

Jerry, I hope your next post does not include "Doves Between Ice Storms," as I saw where one might be headed your way.

Unfortunately, Missouri does not have a split season, and here in the northern part of the state our season effectively ends after about the first several days, even though we get the full federal-allotted time period. We find dove in December in fair numbers while quail hunting, and I sure wish we could add a dove or two to the bag, but alas, our season ends in November. I guess the good news is that I'd then be looking for a tight-choked, long-barreled Parker to use to shoot them.

Enjoy your hunts...and that fine gun!

Garry,

Knew it was over. Another 3-4 inches now covered by ice. Season ended today, but actually Friday for me. Only got six on my last hunt, but fun while it lasted.

Jerry,

Glad you were able to get out at your season's end. It's always kind of sobering to get out for a last day. I always start planning for the next season, but I know how "stuff happens" that can steal time from us.

On to turkeys next?

Good hunting!

Garry,

The geese were here by the hundreds before the two storms came. But there will be more once the snow hopefully leaves the newly shelled corn fields and the ponds unfreeze. I've got geese until February 22 and rabbits to the 28th. Waiting for my elderly () cousin to heal who cracked a vertebrae. Then maybe some coyotes at night until turkeys the second Saturday in April!
