Well said, Stan-you might as well have quoted the late Nash Buckingham. Sure wish we had a legal dove season here in MI- went out yesterday afternoon for barn pigeons, cut 44 acre field of Winter Wheat- doves all over the farm area, and the smallish pond holding water in the corner also was hosting about 30 Canadas-they skedaddled when I shot the first "shitty-bird"- I tracked a few high incomers from my hide- I need to get a swiveling camo seat, as very few incomers follow a straight line-- and I prop up the dead ones in the stubble for decoys- No law against tracking a dove or even a duck or goose in flight, just can't shoot- doves, probably never see the ban lifted in MI in my lifetime, ducks and geese in October-although the best hunting for waterfowl hereabouts in always in early Nov.
