    17 Hunters on my place Saturday. Somewhere around 120 doves, mostly collared, fell. Many more were missed They were flying heavy from 4:00 PM on.

    Hardly any doves flying yesterday, but I did see a few this morning.

    Need a tip. Given the summer heat, once you shoot them, do you clean and ice them immediately? (leaving a wing for identification).

    I keep a cooler of ice in the truck. As soon as you shoot them or as soon as possible you can put them whole on ice. All the doves I got were in great shape as I only clean once I'm home.... no or very little blood lividity. No problem that was with transportation of identification either.

    Hunted south and saw NO collared dove, but I did see a few white wing.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    This is what we did, to. So we could take pics after we were done. I have not had any taste issues keeping them whole and putting them on ice and then cleaning them after pics
