Dove Season-5 Days Away

[zander]

I have a place we are headed to that has some sunflower fields bordered by some hedgerows. I figure it might get a lot of doves coming that way once all the shooting starts. We will be hunting public land so there is bound to be lots of shots to keep the doves moving around. We are going tmw morning as soon as I get my dog loaded and my son dropped off at school.

But what I really can't wait for is the pheasant hunt I have booked for October. So much to do with the bird hunting and the fall brown run, work and school and keeping my wife happy and me out of the dog house, so little time.

Frenzel, I saw your truck up at the Bois D'Arc CA office today. I hope you had a better hunt than I did. Saw more turkey and quail than doves. My dog caught one wounded one that jumped but not high enough to stay out of his mouth. That was it. We jumped a few others but they were flying parallel with the ground so we couldn't shoot at them.

I hunted bois darc as well on tuesday and only fired 11 shots. Didnt see many birds flying. However the guy at the headquarters told me that there were between 1200 and 1300 birds killed tuesday morning. Shocking considering the most we saw at one time was maybe 12 birds. most of the time it was singles or doubles then wait for 45 minutes to se a couple more.

No need to let it get heated. Let'em go for it, that's where your county revenue comes from.

I know they were being Butts but they was giving a Newbie Bad info I wasn't going to let it slide but I think they found out I was right because next time I seen them they was asking about other Regs.
