The pasture we were hunting just behind my hunting camp is a sandy piece of high ground covered in wild Crotan, which down here we call it goat weed. The doves were on the ground feeding in the same field, and we shot them as they flushed...got about 20 total...all in all a fun afternoon!

Mark,

Thanks! I just need the ambient temperature to make me cry (so don't tell me!). If it was pleasant, and you could walk up quail and dove without a dog, I don't want to know about it...it will keep me up at nights.
