How did you do on opening day of dove season?
I went to a corporate dove shoot; BBQ and door prizes.
First time doing that, probably 100 or more hunters over several fields.
Our field had about 25 hunters. I was in the middle of the field, and the birds seemed to be flying around the perimeter.
Lot of folks yelling "bird!", and a lot of shooting.
I thought i must just can't see very well anymore, because I just don't see any doves on this field.
Later on I hear someone yell "those aren't doves".
After that I turned to face the other direction, and only turned toward them if I heard a lot of shooting.
I ended up with 10 doves with less than two boxes of shells, which is my best dove shooting ever. Gave them to my guest.
Not as many birds as I have seen on other hunts. Of the ones I got, a lot were with the third shot. A few times, I would shoot 3 at a bird flying out of the field too far a way. But overall my shooting was personal best.
If I can repeat it Weds and Fri, I should have 30 doves in the freezer.
