In the south a dove shoot is a social event as well as a shooting event. To be invited to John's opening day family shoot is quite an honor. I shoot a 30" 12ga lifter using #9 shot. You will be shooting local doves vs the migratory birds of late season and #9's do a great job. Be careful to be a gentleman and only shoot "your birds" not ones heading for someones else's stand. You will have a fantastic time!

Jacob, congrats on that 20 ga Trojan. What a great bird gun. Dean, I want to see how that 12 ga handles.

Opens September 1 here. Lots of Whitewings still around. If a storm does not come in and get them moving south to Mexico we should be able to put some in our bag. Lots of morning and Eurasian dove. Can't hardly wait. Mike you are in for a real treat.

Grew up going to dove shoots ( it is not a hunt ). Some of my most enjoyable times afield took place on the dove field, but the prairie section of Mississippi does not have the birds it used to. When I moved back home 44 years ago after school and living in Jackson a couple of years, I got invited to join what was simply called the dove club. A group of about 30 sportsman including a couple of large farmers. Our first dove season last the month of Sept.The club fixed 3 or 4 fields and we shot each Saturday, Sunday and Wedsday afternoon. When morning shooting was introduced the decline started. The club hung it up about 10 years ago. I still shoot but if I kill my 15 3 or 4 times. It is a good season.

I do feel honored to be invited on this shoot, as I do when any of our members invite me to tag along. I didn't have any 9 shot RST loads but I brought plenty of 8's. thanks for the advice David :-)
