With dove season right around the corner I thought I had better take a count of my shotgun shells. I have 650 20ga shells and 250 28ga shells. I figure that may get me through the first day. I normally start the first season with the 28 and then about half way through switch to the 20. I start the second season with the 16 and about halfway through switch to the 12. For the first time in many years our first season will again be a day long hunt. What I like about that is I can call in the AM and hunt dove in the PM. Looking forward to this years hunting season, have a deer tag, an elk tag and the LBL to look forward to.
Sound good John just don't over do it
Don't forget the bobcats and lions you will be trying for also :laf:
JohnP, you got it bad (the bug) and makin mine even worse. It is so blasted hot I cant stand it! Come on cool weather before I go nuts! :madd: :yoyo:
I haven't been to a good dove shoot in many years. Seems folks around here will have a "pay hunt"... and no doves to shoot at. :rolleye:
I was thinking of doves myself this morning as I walked through what was left of the sweetcorn patch and indian corn.Thanks to heat and dry weather the indian corn was a bust. Enough there for next years seed but that is it.
Mowing right now would be hte thing to do . As long as it is standard farm practice it isn't baiting. All that foxtail standing there just begs to be put down :eyebrownod: Not to mention all those sweetcorn nubbins :biggrin:Jimmie
Yeah, make sure ya dont over do it and lay yourself up.
Cause then you'll be stuck in the house and reading / listening to us all day. :wink:
I miss northern Ohio's dove season...... sunflowers and all day shooting..... Down here we are hard pressed to find a place to shoot a full box in a day.... :rolleye:
Enjoy the {L} out of them John[and the rest of you guys] cause I ain't never shot one :sad:.
The doves just haven't been around my fields in any numbers the last 6-7 years here. Diane puts the breasts in the crock pot with a ton of veggies & makes a stew from it. MMM MMMM GOOD!! :biggrin:

On the doctors advice I have yet to put on a pair of boots. I have an appointment this coming Monday and I will ask him about it, if he says no then I'll continue with his advice, still doing the theraphy thing and down to one alcoholic drink a day sometimes two. I have been following their orders this time around and it seems to be working - strange.
I would hate to be stuck in the house reading this BS all day long. :laf:
We have quite a few doves but we cant hunt em...but pigeons make a good substitute, no season, no limit and quite a few of them also:
