That was called "scrapping". This dove season has been so poor that it occurred to me today that as we go the last few times we are "scrapping" the doves. Whereas a limit of 15 is always the goal we must be satisfied this season with much smaller takes. Nevertheless, i'm grateful for the few I'm blessed with.

This afternoon I sat for three hours and took four, with five shots. Three of them here, taken with the Dickinson 30" barreled .410 and 3/4 oz. handholds. Big, beautiful mature specimens.

Forgive me, but I would think it's a testament to your fine shooting and your ability to put the pattern on the target. Same with Murphy. And the challenges the wind produces when aiding the rockets.
