is everybody ready?

20 days till dove opener.... I'm not even close , I've got 3/4 a box of shells left from last year. Never got my hunting box with drawers built for the back of my explorer so i can leave pretty much everything except firearms and dogs. I wanted to build a double kennel for the dogs to go on top so whenever i get the urge all i gotta do is grab the dogs and run . Although i have an excuse since we've got a baby on the way and tryin' build another bedroom it's still not much of one.

As Kurt Russell said,
"I was born ready."

dove seasen has been canceled on us here thaks to peta and our gov so it looks like it might bee goose sep 1.
I have never used my dog on ducks or geese and i dont know how my freinds will take her in the blind.
The dog loves hunting grouse and works real close

Dogs are ready and so am I and should be a good upland year in SD again.

I have boxes and boxes of shells left over from last year's dove season because I was ready for that one and barely got to go.

My excuse was planning a wedding and remodeling a townhouse. This year, the wedding is done and the only thing left to be done in the townhouse is the garage, which I hope to tear into this weekend. A week from today at this time, I will be loading my gun up with some #7 1/2's and heading out to my spot with Nitro. I just came in from playing fetch with him and he is out of shape. Hopefully, seeing the doves and being out in the field will give him some motivation.

Trigger finger is startin' to kick in. I think Bosco is startin' to notice somethin' is up , he got pretty wound up when i drug out the huntin' bag.

You know a friend of mine mentioned this today that he has not seen the numbers compared to last year on the doves. I have not seen this either and not sure what the deal is .?

[myEspringr]

Yeah I noticed that too. I was kinda glancin' around on my way home last night and i really didn't notice as many as last year. I'm still gonna go out though it's just somethin' I gotta do it's been a long year and I need the release.
Good luck to all

We stumbled on a spot last year that was pretty thick with Grouse so I may head up there tomorrow and give it a shot.

I will miss the opener as FEMA is sending me to Atlanta for starters and will be gone most of Sept.
