Thirty years ago I had it in my head I wanted to take an 8 point whitetail in each state they were available , then I lessened it to “a” whitetail meaning doe etc . Never have come close to accomplishing it . I’m thinking now that I’m kinda lazy when it comes to tromping around I might set a new goal of dove in each state of the “Old South” and Eurasians once or twice in the Southwest And by no means do I think dove hunting is lazy it’s just a skoosh easier then going out after deer and as I normally do climbing 30-35 feet up a tree .

Craig you might have hit upon a new strategy. Build a stand in the tree tops and hunt them at eye level.

Funny you should say that . We were damage control hunting deer on a 240 acre piece the Friday before the dove opener in VA for deer . The place is leased by a hunt club mainly for dove and it’s planted 75% sunflowers and the rest in corn . Anyway during daylight that evening I was sitting in someone’s 8-10 foot high quad pod stand . While sitting there the dove were so many and so close I am 200% sure I could’ve taken a 410 with one box of shells , picked my shots and gotten the 15 bird limit with shells to spare .
