Good luck to both you guys on your hunts, bring back some pics if nothing else...

I had a great dove hunt Sat on my farm. My brother came over from VA, our last dove hunt together was ~25 yrs ago. A few other of my fellow hunter safety instructors rounded out the effort, with one young newbie in tow. I've been planting wildlife fields, and still have 4 more to go. I hope to knock those out by this week.Two more dove hunts, and then shifting gears with our bow opener 15 Sept. Here are a few pics from yesterday:

When my brother over from VA to dove hunt, I asked him to bring a mounted 10 pt buck I shot in '93 so I could get some pics-- the agreement was if he mounted it, he could hang it.
My general bow hunting goal is to try to get a buck that would rank in my top three, the bar is set pretty high now...

Fsh,

Great looking mounts, I hope you reach your goal this year that would be awesome. Looks like you had a great time dove hunting, haven't hunted doves since I was a kid. All I remember isburning through a box of shells very quickly and not having much to show for it.[8D]

AK sorry to hear about your troubles, hope you get things sorted out and back on track soon.

Well, we hung 3 stands today and I need to replace thecables on another and will hang that one later this week. The property I hunt has a small food plot of soy beans and corn and bothshow signs of heavy brows. Hopefully I will get a shot at a decent buck when the season roles around. I have some game cameras out, and am anxious to see what the pictures will show.

Well have to help the kids with some last minute homework.

Take care,

Brian
