bgshooter Report post Posted September 2, 2015 Here are some pics from our opening day. My older son (Jeremiah) tried out the 20 gauge I bought him with some low recoil shells. He handled the recoil very well but the stock was still a bit too long for him to comfortably shoulder the gun. I was going to just let him take some shots until he got tired and then take my turn. He called it quits sooner than I thought he would cause of the stock issue. Will buy him a shorter stock soon. Jeremiah retrieving a dove I shot down that fell on the other side of the fence. He was having fun retrieving. Hope to get him shooting them down himself soon. My younger son Brendon (left) had a blast even though he didn't shoot anything. He enjoyed seeing the dove drop and eating the snacks I got them before we got to the spot. Final count is 12 mourning and 1 eurasian. Wished I was more efficient with the shells. Can't say I had a great ratio but oh well. Didn't limit before sunset but had a really fun time going dove hunting with my boys...their first time out with me. Planning on going again Thursday. Had to take s selfie so here it is... 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Browns Report post Posted September 3, 2015 We tried a new spot and had another epic afternoon. I got my limit in 35 minutes with my 28 gauge Beretta. At one point I hit 6 in a row. Birds everywhere! I got 10 Eurasians after getting my limit. My brother in law had a tough time tonight. He got 12 & 3 Eurasians. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Sir put your gun on the ground!!!" I said "no, it's a nice shotgun, I'm gonna lean it on this tree" they were mad but respectful. Just looking for some wets that had been reported there recently before I showed up. Never put my shot gun on the dirt lol. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnie blaze Report post Posted September 3, 2015 Pfffttttt, its just another tool. Buy a 40k 4x4....put some AZ pin striping on it. Not sayin you gotta jump the grand canyon, but if you don't use it....might as well not buy it. It's called adding character silly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
