Ever notice if you have a good Dove field you will have more opening day friends, wanting to share your field, than you could fit in but then after the first week it seems like 95% of them are done hunting for the year? I called seven hunters to go hunting last Saturday just to get two that would and could come. Even when I assured them I still had birds they just didn't seem that much interested in going. We limited out after ninety minutes. Sunday I went alone and had more birds than five people could shoot. Now it's getting cold and they might be gone any day. (:

Don't know if its college football, wives telling them once a year should be enough for them or whatever reason. Sucks to loose my best hunting companions, my sons, when they return to college and med school. I don't think I ever turned down a chance to Dove hunt in my life. For some things you just make time.
