Skeet, The local doves are already headed to Colorado for Dan Morris to shoot their tails off. We had two mornings of 36-39 and one that I think it actually got to the lower 30s at my house. Game warden agrees that the local doves have already jumped ship.
I will probably go get a few sage grouse if I can find someone to give them to. I tried to eat a couple in 1963 (Middle Park, CO.) and haven't tried any since. We might shoot a few ducks, but you need to go to the grain growing country if you want to eat them. We will take our usual trip to eastern Oregon to shoot quail and pheasants. I cut my teeth on shotguns and have to go after it if there is anything around to shoot with them.
I don't have those fancy P and K guns, just Beretta, Remington and Japanese Daly in OUs. After that it is Winchesters in Model 12s, 42, and 50. I have any old LC in 12 gauge that is a duck killer and an old French double in 12 ga., 2 1/2 " shells that I don't shoot. I may sell that one. There is also the possibility of the annual trip to central N.D. for pheasants. Man are those tough birds.
