Read this thread one morning earlier this week , prior to leaving for the Dove Field.....Thinking of people I know , (shooters with varying levels of enthusiasm) I conclude most Dove Hunters/Shooters of my acquaintance are opening weekend types.... It is a social event for most .
Me....I really admire them as a target..... I live , by choice, where large populations occur, and like Jon, put considerable effort into making shooting opportunities more certain....
That said, I am by nature a solitary shooter on most outings.
Have enjoyed getting some young men I am quite fond of into the Field , and their enthusiasm is strong....If distance and careers did not interfere they would certainly be here much more often....
I think there is indeed slight interest by the average Outdoorsman in Dove shooting as a Season long pursuit ....
Me, I am going to a top notch field this afternoon, I have open invitations out to a FEW friends who share my interest in the shooting.....Whether they join me or not I'll have a fine outing ....Thinking about taking the .410 , but those gusty winds tell me it could be quite frustrating.....
I hope everyone's early season outings have been successful.....It is the BEST time of the year....and only going to get better as other seasons open.
