Dove opener

Tried again this evening. Had one fly by as I was getting my chair set up and I couldn’t get a shot. Starting thundering about 40min later and figured I should get out of there.

Got our limits on Saturday and got 14 today by about 9:30 this morning before the birds stopped flying.
Best two days of dove shooting I’ve had.

Lots of birds I’m the only pressure. Kill early and get out and let em feed. Will give em a break until Monday. Hopefully they stick around for a few more hunts

Yeah we’ve had some pretty good hunts mid day once you have left 😂

I’ve been seeing more birds going out in the afternoons after work than I saw opening weekend. Today I sent the dog into some heavy cover after a downed bird and a bear cane running out the other side, stopped and watched us for a minute before returning to the cover. And we still got the bird back.

Hunted up to the last day, it was great almost no one was out for dove anymore. Got amazingly lucky and shot my second banded bird this season almost in the exact same spot as the last.

I’ve never killed a banded dove and don’t know anyone who has.

I’ve been wingshooting for over a decade (mainly duck and dove) and never shot a band of any kind. You never know when they’ll come.

It definitely feels like a nice reward after years of putting in the work!
