Lilred's Dove huntin report..
 

me, my bird dog, hubby and freind of ours went out to a not so famous cutover close to the house...killt 2 dove outta the 6 we seen. We were doin more of shootin the bull than doves...lol

Good news was that wild woman made some beautiful points on a covey of quail. It was good so see quail....they are definatley on the comeback side of things...I've seen 6 different covey this year and all within a 10 mile range of my house. Hopefully other hunters will reort the same around these parts. I aint seen this many quail in part near 10 years...so I wont hunt em this year. I'll give em a few more years to rebound..then wild woman wont be pointin in vein :D

Funny note...a lone crow flew over us..it took 8 shots to miss him lol...I reckon we need to start shootin skeet again:rolleyes:

My dove hunting has been pretty poor too. The first day I went, I killed two birds, recovered one, and didn't see much more. The second day I went I killed 9 birds, recovered all 9, and rarely missed. The third day I went, I killed one and missed three. My shooting was horrible that day, but I blame it on only getting 4 hours of sleep.

hey lilred

the main thing was ya scared the heck out of that crow. :D :eek: :eek:

Near St. Louis we had a bumper crop of doves this year. I limited (12) opening day - as did many others.

After openignweekend, it gets harder. the dumb ones died, and the survivors are more wary.
