Went on a hunt Saturday morning. Only hunted dove twice before, in September. Nothing at all for the first 30 minutes of daylight but when they began, it became hot and heavy and stayed that way for almost 2 hours. And then they just shut off. Must say, it was a great way to end the hunting season. I shot 65 times and got 8 birds. Hopefully can do better next season, which I am really looking forward to. Owe lots of thanks to my friend who set up the field, planted the crops, etc.... Next, we are going quail hunting in a couple of weeks. Looks like I might be in the market for a new shotgun. Using a Browning light 12 with modified choke. Also have a longer barreled 870 with Modified also. Not sure what I need but have a good friend that should be able to advise me. As well, it is just money......and lots of fun.
