Another good day in the dove field. Again a bunch of dads with kids, 3 killed their first dove today. A stout and gusty wind had the birds juking and jiving that made it especially fun and challenging. Most of the dads got the limit or close. My little 20 was the ticket today swing on those quick birds! Here is a pic of my oldest showing what he meant by not shooting low birds!Attachment 203432
Here it was the same as usual the week before dove season turned cold and rainy and all the doves left. A field that was full last week was empty this weekend.
Best season start in a while. Shot the same field as last Sat. and there where a lot more birds. Everybody except a novice and an 11 year old got the limit in some gusty breezes.
our dove season is so short here they raised the limit to 15 on mourning doves, and unlimited on the collared.
the collared stay in town so your chances at getting one are about 0.
this was by far the best year I have ever had here in Id. I got to shoot at more than 3 birds.
I hunted again yesterday too! There were a lot fewer of us and fewer birds but a couple of us got our limit and everyone got to shoot. One of the guys brought a neighbor and his son that had never hunted Dove. They got to see what it was about and got a few shots. The best part of the day for me was that my Granddaughter got cold right before sunrise. We greeted sunrise with her sitting in my lap with my arms wrapped around her and her wearing my long sleeve shirt! I did not even try to shoot at maybe the first 10 birds! Also got to sit side by side and shoot with my Son and watch his dog work. Good times for sure and worth all of the work and expense that I put into that field!
First season for both, neither are gunshy.

Nice Picture!
My grand daughter makes dove balls . I breast and debone for her and she ends up with just just a little hunk of meat . She pounds them flat then put a sliver of white cheese and a sliver of jalapeno om them rolls them up , wraps in Owens pre-cooked bacon . The she pokes a tooth pick in it to hold it all together she then batter's them up and drops them in our fry daddy . Man they are good . She said she thought it was her copy of buffalo wings .
Most of the time I cook doves in a gumbo. Sometimes I'll make a chicken and sausage gumbo and throw my doves in.
