My first time hunting these fast little bastards.
We took some Eurasian Sun, Mon, Tue along with some p-dogs.
Opening morning yielded 69 birds among 8 hunters. Afternoon hunt got interrupted by a massive T-storm so only a few early birds were taken.

Dove hunting is one of my favorites. They don't fly straight works well with my cant shoot straight.
Nice shooting. Wish I was getting out for it.

It was slow as hell where we were at compared to last year. I was a little bummed. But we will keep at it.
I'm embarrassed to say we lost a lot of birds in the brush it was so tall/thick. IOW, most of use shot our limit or close to it in the morning but didn't recover them all. That ragweed was insane.
Yea the first bird I got I spent 20 min trying to find , I only kept looking cuz I was afraid it might be the only one I hit haha.
They are very hard to find in the brush. Spend more time searching for them than shooting them.

love dove hunting myself. 69 between 8 guys is pretty good action for sure. I went back to the family farm in Kansas and we had a good weekend but our best afternoon/evening was 83 between 7 of us. We only killed two collared/Eurasian dove all weekend. Love bacon wrapped dove breast.
Very nice!Quote:

The Eurasians stayed in tight around the farm house for the most part and they were quick to disappear to unknown places once a shot rang out.
