That opening day of dove kind of gets everything going for the rest of the year. Your right about the liquids, cause you know it' s going to be hotter than blazes opening day. Usually, I hate them first couple of hours until the birds get to flying good. Last year was different, we had our limits by 4pm but that was an unusual field with a ton of doves and enough hunters to keep them flying.
Speaking of doves, How do you cook yours? I always wrap a biece of bacon around the breast and hold it with a toothpick. I also insert me a jalapena in there in the bacon. I grill mine until there good and crispy. mmmmmmmmmmgood.
