I shot three doves on Monday. I went around Marlow and it was slim pickings except for on the power lines as we were leaving.
Only two stories from the hunt:
I am a little unique (in more ways than one) as I use six dove decoys when I dove hunt. No one else I hunt with uses them but I swear by them. It was pretty neat because the first dove I dropped was coming in and getting ready to land next to my decoy. This has happened more than once and always gets the heart beating.
After I shot the dove I put him on a fallen tree to keep him out of the tall grass. About an hour later I went to get him to move spots and he was COVERED with ants.
The real hunting starts a week from Sat. (teal). Problem is, water may be too deep for my main spot.
