I miss them often when they show up on a dove field because they are so much slower fliers that I over lead them. Same thing happens to my buddies and I in October when we start shooting crows in the pecan orchards as the nuts begin to open and fall. Crows fly so much slower than mourning doves that, after a month of dove shooting, we'll start out ahead of them and have to forcibly cut back on lead.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
