Let's here it fellas, how'd you do on opening day of dove season? Wish I lived in GA or TX right about now, have to wait another month down here in Florida, shoot I will be shooting green wing teal, before I fire a shot at one dove!!

I got 15 birds on opening day. I haven't been hunting since.

You were hunting with 26 other people for doves?

That's possible man Speed. Here in TN Dove Hunting is a huge thing. In some places it's like a combination of a keg party/back-yard bbq/skeet shoot. I know of a few shoots in my county that normally have around 20 people.

Well dam, I'm hunting in the wrong area.   ;D

Shoot on then!!

[South FLA]

Yeah,  Dove hunting down South is a HUGE affair,, even grandmas come out and make a pinic of it, love that sweet  tea!!

[SDoolittle]

I think there were 17 people with us.

I got 11 on the opener and I went back one more time and got 19. The first day I had to help a few guys get their limit so I am not realy sure how many I got. we had 6 guys each time. Dove hunting is fun but its a long drive for me so I am done untill our 2nd season

Yea, it was a private sunflower field.  He spends quite a bit a money on getting it set up each year and only hunts it twice.  The birds poured in every 10 minutes or so.  You might see 4 or 5 and then there would be 80-100 working the field for the next 10 minutes, and it would just keep doing that the whole time.

We quit shooting at 5 and by 5:20 there was close to a 1000 birds in the field.

Bingo, we didn't have a keg but did have some grey goose.  Everything else was included.

Flying rats!  I can't stand them.  I've got a bunch of ducks on my lake I'd love to see removed also.  Stupid things keep poopin all over my rear patio.

agreed. i did see a redtail hawk swoop down and pounce on one this summer. that alone would have been amazing, but what happened next was simply incredible. a ferral cat came out of nowhere and snatched it away from the hawk. if only i had a video recorder. simply amazing.
