Hi all, well day after tomorrow is the opener for doves. So with this opener, I guess it's time to start this thread again for this year.
Every year we see some great pictures of the members here and their dogs, family, friends and of course game. I know this year will be the same.
I do have one request. Please keep this thread on track. Please, no personal attacks or sarcastic comments to those who post in good faith. Let's just have fun with this one.
I wish everyone here a successful,fun and above all safe season!
Best Regards!
Greg

First time ever dove hunt. Those little buggers can really move and have no idea how to fly in a straight line. Only got 6 for 20 shots. A 110 year Fox A grade beater.

First dove shoot on the sunflower field. Lots of birds, but not the easy, in your face birds you usually associate with opening day. Fast birds, high flyers, way more mature birds than is the norm for this early in the season. Usually I kill a much higher ratio of juveniles to adults than yesterday. My two grandsons are growing up on me. Jackson (16) on my left and Lane (13) on my right. Lane bagged 9, and Jackson and I each got the limit of 15.  The next generation is coming along nicely, too. The afternoon's take in the background , 297 birds.  And, what the cleaning table looked like a few minutes later. A dozen sets of hands can make short work of a pile of birds.
