You're killing me!! That's so cool. Congrats to your boy, he'll remember that forever! You guys have inspired me to get out this evening here in ND! I planted 20 acres of sunflowers this year and they're loaded in there! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Epic day of dove hunting. Most fun I have had hunting doves in 20 years. Saw some members out there in the field too. Shot a bunch of grey rockets. If Eurasians counted into the limit, I would have been done by 6:15. Luckily, they don't, so I wasn't. Nice meeting you, Lance! Quite a morning of shooting, indeed... Likely will see you out there again later in the week! Good luck to all!!!! S. any whitewings? 8 whitewings for me..... More than usual. Glad they raised the limit on them to 10! (Used to be 12/6) S. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3rd gen native Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Very spotty here in sierra vista. Scouted our spot three days ago at a dirt tank we have hunted for years. Heavy flights of both WW and collards morning and evening. This morning three of us were hard pressed to get nine birds all morning dove only missed one and got three.Ran into four other hunters coming out that had been down near the river at hiway 82 they took the only bird that flew over. Not a usual opening day!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoghntr Report post Posted September 2, 2015 Well skipped dove hunting this morning and my wife and I went to pick blackberries bumped into this black rattlesnake while we were out. By the way he did not rattle but it sure did strike quite a few times. Going for dove now! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
