Flatlander Report post Posted September 7, 2013 Spent this morning hunting doves with my boys here in town. They love dove season and talk about it all year. I knocked down a bird on my first shot and shot a pretty good pace all morning. Ended up killing my limit in about 2 hours. My boys picked up birds but wouldn't put them down they played with them all the way back to the house and even took them inside and showed mom then threw them on the kitchen table, made mom real happy. I was pleased that they were happy to help clean them and are excited to eat their doves for dinner. Dove hunts were some of my first hunting experiences and I am happy to be able to share it with my boys now. To make this year extra special I hunted with my cousin's shotgun, he passed away in 2009 and his folks asked me to take it and make sure it got some use. I think he would have been happy with my work today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle Eye Report post Posted September 7, 2013 Those are really some of the best memories as a kid. My dad made us wait till we were 9 to hunt birds and I remember I couldn't sleep the night before opening morning. I was way to excited. Before I turned 9 I walked around with my bb gun finishing off the wounded birds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkhunter Report post Posted September 8, 2013 That's awesome, I took my 2 year old son out last Sunday, he wasn't ready to touch the birds yet but did mention the birds were 'sleeping' that's what he told my wife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
