I cant speak for the rest of you, but for me, life beween bird seasons is just existing...same old=same old.Our dove season starts Sept 1, with Nebraska Grouse right behind and then all the rest...Its like being born again without the baptism! After I did chores this morning, I took a ride around the section just east of me, on my 4wheeler. For you city guys, a section is one square mile. I saw all the things I expected to see,Pheasants, Doves, Turkeys, and Deer. I really got the giggles seeing 4 seperate flocks of Prairie Chickens! The bunch right by the house had over 30 birds in it...Life is good...
