Great post Stan - though I am emerald green with envy, being long removed (chronologically and geographically) from the dove hunting I enjoyed in MD in the '70s. Our best shooting was over sunflower patches my father and his hunting buddies had planted on several farms we hunted. Sitting in a treeline between one of those patches and a large white pine stand on a warm, late afternoon in September - now, that is fun shooting!

My only "regret" is not having been able to enjoy that shooting with a long-barreled 16 ga Fox . . . .

Looks like you are setting things up for another great season - I hope the weather cooperates for you.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
