LOL Papa.mmmm mmmm good!
Wingshooter, Yeah my outfitter went up to 25 this year damn it...but I have 3 WMA close, you may too, check them out!
FYI scouting report, This is Blackwater WMA Public Dove Field so you need the WMA permit and a valid dove stamp, if you are ever going to be checked it is here...Frank
SO...Beaver Creek Rd off Hwy 4 about 6 miles N of Baker FL. GPS N 30 52.410 X W 86 46.147 that is 1 entrance, the second but actually the first you come to is N 30 52.302 X W 86 45.854 the hunting is E of those and between them. There are 3 large millet fields and fairly good roads to them (2WD), I will call and be sure they will be cut prior to the 2nd. In 45 minutes at about 2:30 I spotted about 20 dove. It is still 3 Sat away so hope they hold or it gets better, I will not scout again till opening day.
There are 2 other fields 15-20 miles away that did not look near as good, I have those GPS too if you want them, I am not going to bother.
Frank, sounds like you have a wide varioty of places to hunt dove birds. Down here in central Fl the demand is high and supply is low so naturally the pricing is high. I will just go back to the tried and true public land. Just have to wait a few more weekends till I can break out the mighty 28 ga. By the way, how far are the dove fields you have access to from the Tampa / Lakeland area. :toast
Wingshooter, Damn, Tampa is like another State way from me or the lease 7-8 hrs...sorry, would love to have you up hunting. Plug the above coordinates into mapquest or google earth and it will tell you... or put in Baker FL Frank
Thanks Frank, I had a feeling it would be a fairly long road trip. Will be be out this weekend shooting clay birds. All of this is just a warm up for the serious wing shooting.....DUCKS !!!!
