Stan you are right of course, if you're a dove nut, and I am, the only limit is what you can afford as a shell bill. Have you noticed that you can not miss a dove at home after one of these trips?...Geo

Good for you, Tyler. Great cause! I wish you well and hope lots of money is raised to go to the hospital.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Tyler, thats great, I raised 5400 for the Childrens Miracle Network earlier this year, its a great cause, especially when you have visited one of the hospitals. How far is Parrish from Huntsville? Directions? and how big and what kind of field is it?

There are phone numbers on the links. I have never been there but know there have been a lot of good shoots in Walker Co. I will not be there, too far from here. Just passing along the info.

I'm kinda sitting on the fence on my excitement about the dove season. Here in SoCal/SoWest, the areas where there are good numbers are generally somewhere between 115-120F on Sept 1. I'm just not all that enthusiastic to get out in that kind of heat with or without my dog even though I'm getting kinda antsie about getting out shooting/hunting. Anyone else?

Chuck at your age I think being cautious about being out in the heat is smart. My biggest worry is rattelsnakes and I worry both for me and my dogs. I wear leggings and my dogs have been vaccinated and snake trained. The highs around here in early September are ususally around 90F so as long as I have water I feel my dogs won't overheat. And certainly a young man like me doesn't worry about heat. Best, Mike
I am glad to be here.

Brad, Just for that, I'm going to get Angie out of the safe and rub her butt...again. Here's another pic of Angie, in case you forgot what she looks like.

I will never forget opening day of 2000 in Ms. It was 109 degrees with a hot breeeze blowing. Never have I been so uncomfortable in search of fun. My journal entry for that day said that I was glad I had not brought a guest. If it stays this dry in W Ala and E Ms, I know where there is a waterhole that may pan out after they finish cutting that $6 corn. I need to check on its current ownership. I have made it a point to stay on good terms with the last two generations of owners (since 1999) but I understand my last contact "passed" over the winter. Need to load some 28's and get in some practice. Looks like the curse of football may take up my time and my partners (my son) this year. I am not sure my ego could survive much more abuse. He was starting to wax me regular last fall @ 14. Enough of my rambling. Sept 1 in Ms and I have not checked North Ala.
