I had about an hour and a half to spend one more night dove hunting for the season so i took my boy and went to my spot. On the way down the dirt road we jumped a pair and they only flew 100 yards and landed again. I drove as close as possible and got out. They jumped and i fired once dropping both of them! Awesome I thought
] Drove another 100 yards and jumped two groups of three. They all went west and out of sight. Got to the place i sit and got out. A strong northerly began to blow and the doves came with it. All out of range except for a pair wich i dropped both with 3 shots. I could not find one of them.[mad] The last five minutes i saw probably 30 doves flying hard and fast south. I think it is getting cold enough the doves are going to be gone in a week or so. It was a good night to end it on though.[cool] Grouse hunting starts monday for me. Then on to bigger game in 3 weeks or so. Anybody have any use for some dove feathers? Or duck feathers for that matter. I will have a ton in a month. Pm me if interested.
Here is a pic of my buddies dove he shot wednesday, and a pic of tonight's bag.
