Nice pics guys. It was too hot for quail hunting (77 degrees) but it was just right for a South Alabama dove shoot. We shot a large harvested peanut field with about 45 others. The hay bales were already pulled from the field but the huntmaster was kind enough to place out pallet blinds to give us some cover.

The birds didn't start flying until late. And they were either sky-high or way to low. But the numbers were pretty good. Most of the birds were flocked up into groups of 5-20 birds and even had a some bigger flocks of at least 40-50.

I came home with a few birds with way to many hulls to show for them. Should have limited out with these bird numbers but on this day, a close shot was 25-30 yards.

Had a great time.

Pops waiting for the action.
