I would definitely come out for a hunt and bring the boy. I would be happy to provide a ride for anyone out to Yuma or where ever.

Count me in if a get together happens!
That youth mentor area out there North of Holyoke is by far the best hunting spot in the state. My wife has been pushing our game warden to change the rules and allow husband and wife combo's there also... prob not going to happen. We have even seen turkeys in there.
Can't wait for dove, sure wish I had more places to go. 10 years or so ago I could hunt the tree ridge West of South Parker road down by Franktown. One day we had thousands of doves land in the wheat stubble field we hunting. Only time I ever limited out on doves. Less than 3 days away....
September 1 just can't get here fast enough!! Tick-tock
Agreed, i am starting to get antsy.
I picked up one of those mojo dove decoys with the spinning wings, I am tempted to try it out today and see if any Eurasian's come in. I could call it pre-hunting [UZI]...
Anybody use the cheap little decoys? Or the mojo's? Can't decide if it will work or if its just stupid.
Leave tonight for tomorrows opener.:D Private land....and lots of ammo
Doves like to roost and field with other doves. Never used a mojo one but put it in a food source or some cheapies in a tree and it may attract some doves.Quote:

of course there are like 10 sitting right behind my house right now.
I have a mojo dove and they work great.
Leave tomorrow with my two best hunting buddies (nephews) and we hope to be done my 1200. I am kinda lucky because I have access to private property.
Best of luck to you guys, be safe and enjoy!
