So I joined up with Sallysue, Don and Deckhand for an evening hunt in some serious wild winds. Took down several birds before I changed out chokes to make it easier.

Tuit performed flawlessly for her first hunt of the year. I'm so proud of that little lady. She was very busy



Love the intensity



After a perfect retrieve, little man says, "I want to play with one" so I tossed him the bird after Tuit released it to me. Next thing I hear is "Dad, this one has a tag" I'm thinking, no way!



Sure enough, we shot our first banded dove!! :banana2: and here all along I thought they were just myths!

A limit with bling





A big thank you to Sallysue for giving me the opportunity to take such a fine bird

Nice pics.

Looks like yall had a great time!

Super hunt. Nothing beats a hunting trip with family and watching a good dog work! Good Job!

thanks guys, and your correct, nothing like watching my girls work. they love it as much as I do!

I really enjoyed those pictures. I didn't know they had banded doves.

yes sir, and here I thought it was an urban legend as well LOL

Been shooting dove many years and never saw one.

That was a nice post.... Brings back memories of hunting with niki our family lab when I was a teenager

It just don't get any better than that. Looks like a perfect day.

Great pictures. It has been too long since I last dove hunted.

Wrap them in bacon and toss em on the grill.

Very nice. Congrats on a great day.
