Hi all, being tomorrow is the opener for doves (for here at least), it looks like it's time to revive this thread for the 2014 hunting season. I hope it will be as popular and successful as last years. There were lots of great posts and wonderful pics of everyone here and their favorite guns, dogs and game.

I want to wish each of you a very successful, safe and happy season!

Bless you all!

Greg

Hi all, well, guess I've got the first post with pics. Today was our dove opener, but not very successful. Not much flying and we were shut out from the usual spot we hunt (rancher was haying) so we had to adjust fire and find a different spot. I was able to get 4 and Will 6, oh well always tomorrow!

My birds with my 16b D. Gotobed:



Will and his, with his 20ga BSS/S:



Now let's see yours!

Best!

Here are a few photos from our Dove shoot. On one level you could call it a bust; we only managed two mourning doves. Like most years, here in our part of Utah, a cold snap last week pushed the mourning doves south. We made up for the lack of mourning doves with Eurasian collared doves.

It was my friend and co-worker Thanye's sons first real dove hunt. He did well with his little 20 gauge Spanish double. He even got an honest double. Of course as always; Thayne was deadly with his 32 gauge Belgian double hammer gun. I did okay with my 16 gauge hammer gun as long as no one is counting birds per shot. For sure it was a great day.

This count? Interesting here in the NW Valley the Whitewings move in late March, but all left when the Monsoon started about 2 months ago. Then the Mourners came, with a few Inca Dove. Not many Eurasian.

DON'T YOU SEE THE BIRDS!?!?





Gotta do something fun when it's still 104 frown Hard to see the Inca standing on Zach's grave marker. They are smaller and darker than Mourners.



No gun but I shot skeet at Ben Avery this morning. The HOA frowns on harvesting the locals smile

So far...this is my favorite. It's our first hunting picture together of the 2014 season. Dove season opened here yesterday as well, but today was our first outing. They weren't really flying all that thick, but we managed two. I used my Baker A grade and my son chose the Winchester 12 (1917).



We had a great time just enjoying the outdoors and father/ son time together.

Hunted in Ky. nice group of shooters and really nice pig roast after. I only got 4 doves, missed 3 times that but my Lab had a great time picking up for several guys. Due to numerous guys shooting he did not have opportunity to mark all of them but he handles well and sits on the whistle, did a good job of taking overs and backs. For me it's as fun working him as shooting them myself.

I apologize in advance for the back drop on this photo.
Teal season is open, and I'll be shooting the Bluewings for the next few days. Greenwing's are pretty tiny this early.



Out there doing it best I can.

CZ, there's nothing more fun than having your decoys strafed by a squadron of teal on their initial approach.
