John,

Dove hunting is a gentleman's sport for certain, if you don't get into the field any earlier than say 2pm you've not missed much. If you want to try the morning flight, they start about daylight and move for an hour or so. I prefer to wait till afternoon when they fly for a couple hours.

This will be the 61st year for the hunt I've been invited to. I think I started retrieving there in 1954. If I get lucky my afternoons will be full for the first two weeks of the season and "work" (dove hunting) every weekend till the season closes.

Collins you are officially the most well connected dove hunter I know. I'm lucky to get my opening day invite every year.....
