It was a good day in the field. Nacho and Wingshooter were killing machines, between the three of us I counted 10 birds down I shot which were recovered by other hunters, lost or recovered by the black lab another hunter had in the field and another 10-15 which nacho and wingshooter downed which we couldn't recover. Birds started flying early about 2 and finally wingshooter decided to uncase his 1187 12 Gauge after a few pull pork sandwiches and some sweet tea off the back of his Chevy PU. Shooting started and it was game on from 2-5 pm when the sun decided to come backout. Most of the time you couldn't shoot and load your gun fast enough to make all of the shots. I believe most of the birds were native birds and the northern birds haven't shown up yet, which is a great sign given the number of birds flying. All in all it was a great time with good company and fantastic hunt for this early in the season.
I can't compete with you guys shooting one handed!!
I believe you are right Rob. I always like to go after the first major cold front and a strong North wind
I have to give them a fighting chance and that's why I changed to shooting one of my 20 Gauge Winchester Model 12 Pump guns back in 2010 from 12 gauge. It's gonna be a great year for killing doves, I can assure you after this hunt!
drgnstr, you couldn't have missed me, I was the guy that looked like he was tarred & feathered. dove feathers stick like glue to bbq sauce.
yep nacho had plenty of faethers stuck on him
