stanley Report post Posted September 14, 2009 I was invited to hunt doves on some local dairy land over the weekend so we took the kids out yesterday afternoon for some fun. The weather was hot, but we had a blast! A couple of buddies and I set-up under some shade and kept watch over the three boys lined-up just to the south of us. The set-up was basically a HUGE feed lot area (water & seed), with a VERY large tract of safe shooting land to the south. Large fields, ditches, and mesquite/scrub. PERFECT dove country! We got there in the early-mid afternoon, and the action was steady for the next two hours. The boys got plenty of shooting in! Finished-out the day with a little BBQ & swimming! S. Set-up with some shade to watch the action! Lined-up ready to go! Erik Shooting! Here's Nick pulling-up for a shot! Rosie fetching a bird! Little girls helping fetch downed birds! Resting & cooling down with ice water over the head! Swimming later that afternoon! Lots of energy! A well used grill! Some bacon wrapped, some not.... YUM!!

Packer Report post Posted September 15, 2009 Looks like a successful hunt. I am glad to hear you were invited because that third picture looks like you are well within a 1/4 mile from the building and shooting straight at it. I hope it was safer than it appears.

stanley Report post Posted September 15, 2009 Yea, it's interesting. Some of the pictures I took are quite decieving..... The buildings in that particular picture were definitely beyond 1/4 mile. Also still on the private property, and un-occupied I believe. All safe for sure! Funny thing; when I posted the picture I thought the same thing. Also, the power lines are a bit decieving. In some of our pics, it actually looks like we're shooting birds off of the wires!! :lol: S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
