Charlie, if you can't figure out what happened to your doves, just blame George Bush.


Cheers

Had further good reports from the opening day farm. Our friend that owns the place says there's been a flock of about 40 pigeons feeding on the hillside and that he's got that spot reserved for me as he knows my fondness for shooting them.

A few decoys should really make for some sport. They were there in that same area last year and I killed about 15 along with some doves and two crows that came a little too close to the pigeon decoys. A grand afternoon for certain, I'm hoping for a repeat.

I got an invited to an afternoon hunt an hour south of me. Reports of birds are good. I can only hope that I take my A game to the field. My sunflowers are not ripe yet. I'll try shooting over harvested tomato fields this weekend.

They really sing down in Texas when they catch a load of #8 in the butt!
When you miss they sing "Dixie"...

It was a character builder yesterday afternoon at 95 degrees. Most of the morning shooters got their limits. I was the high in the afternoon shoot with 13 in the bag. I lost some in the corn field or would have gotten my limit.
