Recommended Posts

 

 

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.

That gun laying in dirt is like fingernails on chalk board my friend!
got checked by border patrol once on a pond off I-10. They snuck up like I was a criminal! "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.

Yeah I couldn't put my Silver Pigeon on the ground like that

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.

Ya ya but A wise man once said use a hammer for a hammer and your boot for a boot.. Ok well that was me when I managed red wing boot stores. 😋

 

In this case Adam needs a portable gun rack or something cuz if I was with him I may have had anxiety attack 😁

 

Good abootin bud!

Mike would have a heart attack if he saw what my shotgun goes through on a day of predator hunting. Lol.

way west and east even south Phoenix will always have better dove hunting

 

mainly because we have no fields or rural areas left - north of Phoenix - and with the new annexations and g&f boundaries there is no place to go but the far desert

 

its mostly hunt the "abundant " dry waterholes or if lucky find a flyway

 

love to see a tailgate full of doves - haven't been able to do that in a few yrs. without driving close to a 100 miles roundtrip

 

season just started - good luck all - keep posting great stories + photos

This is why I bought a $4500 F150 4x4 so that I can play with it without having to worry about putting pin striping on it. Same reason I use my Mossberg 500 for hunting so I don't have to sorry about a pretty gun getting dirt on it :)

Eurasians are not counted as part of your limit. Non-native species. No limit, no season restrictions.

 

But after opening day of 31 birds total (6 WW, 6 Mourning, 19 Eurasian), I felt that 15 birds (16 for me, with 13 of them Eurasians) for each of us was enough for that day. My daughter was hot and tired already, and I was picking the Eurasians on purpose for the bigger breasts (I like big breasts). We easily could have stayed until dark being selective and shot 200+ Eurasians if we had that many shells.

I will be out there tomorrow afternoon with my wife and kiddo my 6 year old wants to get his first dove with the 410
