Fiji,
Getting 9 on your second attempt at dove hunting is pretty good. Me, I grew up on dove hunting and pheasant hunting since I was 6 years old. Now I am 34, so I have a lot of experience with those speedy little targets. I also know how to pick out some good spots on the field.
I went again today and got my 12 in 2 hours using 24 shells. Not as many birds flying today, but there also weren't as many hunters out there.
Youngbuck,
7 out of 11 shells is really good. If everybody shot that well, the ammunition companies wouldn't make as much money.
After shooting my limit yesterday and today, I spent the rest of the afternoons watching my dad, uncle, and dad's buddy miss left and right. When I finally started paying attention to their shooting, they were about a mile behind the birds when they were pulling the trigger.
