Been seeing quite a few birds,hope to get a little shooting in.

I have a stock tank in the valley on my property. I'm looking forward to it as well. Truly not so much these days as I did when before the boys had not been grown + gone. Bird hunting is an individual experience but to give it its due, like anything else it is more enriching to have shared it with another, especially_ if it can be your son or grandson then so much the better. Not meaning to sound sexist; a Daughter or Granddaughter, well. I just never had any. I wish I had. With my sons she would;d have ridden herd + kept them all in line like only an Annie Oakley Elder sister can do. + you KNOW she would have been a TomBoy. I'd give you a dollar to a doughnut that If I had that daughter here at the time, I would NEVER have been married to wife # 2. (Satan's Sister) There is only 1 place for one queen under the roof. Sorry got off on a tack away from the subject. Good bird hunting everyone. Mourning doves here on 9/1 but the Quail that I love to hunt is not here anymore so when I see some coveys I just feed them then leave them alone. In my mind that is conservation/

it's not what you'd call a thing here.
it took me 10 years to find a spot that had a few doves using it.
you work for and cherish every one, especially since they are usually up and gone by the opener.

Ain't that the truth!
I'm your neighbor in the State just south of you and the birds have usually moved away from you and me before we can fire the first shot.

I've invited some friends and we'll sit at a spring. The shooting won't be great, but the clay machines will be full so either way we'll get in some shooting.

Dove hunting is always a great time with friends.
