dove hunting

[zooker]

there is dove hunting and there is well southern dove hunting. now i can't claim to have been born here in the south. but i like my dove huntin. a fine southern tradition if i do say so. we hunt a large -by southern standards- cut corn field. now we use spinning wing robo doves.-don't you love modern hunting-also if any of you have hunted doves any lenth of time they seem to land in the first available limb after you empty your gun. well in 600 acres of cut corn trees are a tad thin. so we make a portable trees out of pvc. add a few fake doves to the ground and pvc trees. for more info on the trees pm me..
we make a day of it. hunting canadian goose early in the morning and shooting LOTS of ammo at doves during the after noon season.-check area listings- most poeple who have never hunted doves think they are easy to shoot they are dead wrong. shooting a sporting clay is easy. hitting a dove is very tough.cases of ammo are expended good guns fail and break downs common -reason i haul 3 guns-i mostly use a 12 gauge -11-87- for my bird hunting.but i have used a 12 gauge ithaca auto and pump if i need to.and doves are NOT that easy to bag by any bodies standards. i knock 1/2 the feathers out of one with my 10 gauge. he still flew acrossed the 600 acre field.how i don't know.
as this is how i will spend my day tomarrow i will have to put off fishing till sunday any way.
