hoghntr Report post Posted September 6, 2014 Why do we love to bird hunt so darn much??? dang sure was hot this evening! took vest & snake guards off and it looked as if I had gone swimming. this marks my 35th year of shooting dove started when I was 7.. still love it! if not for extreme heat, skeeters and snakes I guess everybody would be out there so guess the hazzards are worth it. good luck to all this weekend!

My Rights As An American Report post Posted September 6, 2014 Went out this evening with my 6 year old daughter. HOT! Did not shoot well. Took an hour to limit out on mourning dove. Birds were crazy again! Hundreds all over the skies where I was at again. Good luck to all this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It won't be long before Bradner will be along side ya shooting his limit. I got out once so far but work has got me tied down. Glad to hear of your success.

My Rights As An American Report post Posted September 6, 2014 Addy. She was a great bird retriever and even better snack eater! The other two kiddos were already planning which days they got to go next while we were out hunting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted September 6, 2014 2 friends and myself went out this morning. We ended up limiting out after awhile. It started real slow and then heated up as it got warm out. All the birds were small again this year. I did get one of my buddies to go bird hunting for the first time and he enjoyed it. He didn't do bad for his first time with a shotgun for sure. We also jumped a couple bucks in the desert. A spike and a pretty decent 3x3. Now one of my buddies may be going archery hunting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a cutey! my 5 year old just said WOW DID SHE SHOOT ALL THOSE DOVES? Nice! It took her a bit to pick one up but it was no problem after that. She is my girly girl princess too! Browned up the meat in flour and spices, made a bit of gravy then served over rice. Not bad at all actually! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues Kid Report post Posted September 12, 2014 Anybody been doing any good in red rock went out last weekend and it was super slow figured I would give it one more shot Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgshooter Report post Posted September 14, 2014 Had a great time shooting this morning. Got my first limit in one hunt. 22 doves in all mixture of mourning\euro\ww. Met a couple hunters as well. The pic of the 2 doves side by side I took down with one shot. That was awesome. After I took them down, the guys at the other end cheered like I was a rock star...lol... Now time to wait for the late dove season. In the mean time, maybe I can get some rabbit hunting in with my kids. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted September 21, 2014 We went out on Saturday of the last weekend of season. It was markedly slower then the previous weekend. We limited out the previous weekend but last weekend we could only muster 18 birds between 3 of us. They were all small out that way this season and also last season. Hopefully next year they will be a little more mature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
