Yesterday morning before light, I'm the last truck in a line of trucks going down one of the dustiest roads we could find, and looking for all the world like we were in a parade. Opening morning of dove season. Finally got to a recently plowed field and everyone spread out around it like we knew what we were doing . Then came sun up, and the war began. A steady rain of bird shot falling and I'm wondering how I'm gonna convience my insurance company it was hail that did all the damage. At about 10:00 the birds stopped flying. Tim had a few, Benny had a few, I had a few (less), and Jimmy (skeeter175) had only shot one guy all morning It was fun, but I really think that this group should stick with fishin'

I'll fix your hail,lol

What a group...
I wish we could all see a picture of that assembly... (GUY, Tim, Benny, And Skeeter)....

Exactly what I said yesterday at 10 am. I shot 6 warning shots at birds 100-150 yards away as that was as close as they came to me. Bad location. 8-10 hunters and 37 birds killed all together. I'll try it one more time this year and then I am sticking to fishing.

Catch and released has spilled over into my dove hunting. I do a lot of shoot and release.

I can't wait for deer season , I usually have the whole
south end of Palestine to my self.
I am convinced that all lake lice drivers deer hunt,
because they dissapear from the lake when Bambi season starts

Glad I wasn't invited! I'm surprised your still alive to tell the story

My day was a little better only got to hunt the afternoon shot seven and saw about fifty birds could have got a limit but my shot didn't come back to me till right before dark.

i didnt think you ol crappie guys were that violent! poor little birds!!! LOL!! they should all be wrapped in bacon and jalapeno and thrown on my grill!

It was fun, I went over to Benny's house and him and Jimmy had a fish fry for lunch...You can't beat that...

Nice to have everybody out opening day,we had a nice fishfry for lunch at Bennys,then the rain came,after the rain stopped we got a call from some friends hunting across from our place,it seems the birds we drove 20 miles to find yesterday morning had come home,so we did a little hunting,shot a few birds (and no poeples),so this weekend should be pretty good as long as the birds dont hit in a plowed field(2 1/2" of rain last nite).
It was pretty cool to see all that crappie fishing talent in one place without a rod in there hand.

Ya'll just keep on shootin' birds and I'll make sure the crappie at GV don't get lonesome

I went tue. and spanked them pretty good even with the wind,but you can have it until next week,the weekend warriors will be out in force starting tomorrow.

Any future Dick Cheneys'?

I'm gonna' give it a try in the morning, weather permitting, but then I'm done until next week.

I hit a dove with my truck yesterday. Had not done that in decades.

He was flying 5' off the ground like his butt was on fire.

Must have met you guys.
