RE: how did everyone do dove hunting??
The birds didn't fly until after 4 p.m.!! We were cloudy and had a nice breeze here in central NC. Others in my group got their limits between 5 and 6...... Then my gun started acting up[:@] I got two but my lab ate the first one......she deserved it after waiting on me to FINALLY get one!! 
Country style Doves with gravy, mashed taters and biscuits for dinner tonight!
I need to start practicing on "leading" the birds.......Embarassed at how many I missed.....[

RE: how did everyone do dove hunting??
It was ok the first few days, this cold front has pushed most of them out. Im hopin more birds come in later, which happens every year. Just about the time bow season gets up and running, i have to go back out once or twice to dove hunt for a few hours.

Went out on Saturday (the opener), limited out by 4:00. Went out on Labor day in the rain and limited out in 2 hours. Due to hurricane Francis remnants it has been raining since and haven't been able to get out again.

Not too good for me in Virginia Beach, this year. Hunted at a farmer's pay field on Sat, Mon, Tues. Fired less than a box of shells total, for six birds, over three days. A couple guys apparently limited on Saturday where I was, but they sure weren't flying over my head.

I've only been able to go a couple times, but didn't see too many either time.
Probably going this weekend though. I hear some birds are flying noonish up around the VA line.

RE: how did everyone do dove hunting??
I hunted in SC on a 30 acre Corn and Sunflower field, but the hurricanes had buried the seed in the soil. That made for a pretty bad day with my dad and I only shotting 6 a piece. The weekend before that there were birds everywhere. We were really disapointed at the whole thing.
There's always next year though
Time for deer hunting now.
