I got a last minute call this month for a chance to shoot a field that had over a 1000 birds the day before the shoot; weather was cloudy. The birds had just shown up. I had other plans and declined. The day of the shoot was bright and not a cloud in the sky. Only a few limits were taken and nowhere near a 1000 birds appeared. As noted above, here today, gone tomorrow when it comes to winter season dove. Gil
