no shot bird hunting

Recommended Posts

I started an opening day 1 for 0 about 10-12 years back. Was walking from my truck to a spot in the middle of a grain field in the early shooting light. Mourning dove started whistling by that I wasn't going to shoot - I like to swing along with the first few of the morning to set my rhythm. As I raised my gun and swung, the dove did a dipping move right into a telephone line and dropped on the side of the road, dead as yesterday. Guy I was with shook his head and muttered something about my luck.

Devil Diver Down....I had a similar experience on a duck hunt once. Jumped some ducks on a pond, was following with my shotgun when they banked and I heard a strange pop and down falls a duck. Apparently when he turned he clipped his wings on another bird and that spun him out of control. I retrieved the duck...no shot necessary! LOL!

Love it! I usually get sun in my eyes just before that high bird I just shot gets to my hand and it hits me in the face
