Red Hawk

I was bored so thought i would make a new post for the fun of it. How did everyone do last year and how often to you go out to pratice and get ready for dove season?, which is just about excatly 4 months away already. Year has gone by pretty fast for me anyway.

Good point RH. Personally, I hope to be the best shot ever this year. I only go to the sporting clay course when I am missing in dog training. I have joined a club where we train bird dogs every weekend to prepare and then keep them ready for spring and fall field trials.

I am fortunate because I have the priviledge of being a gun at training. I get to shoot birds year round now. I am going to be ready for this season to start this year. Shoot more, shoot better.

I don' tn know where everybody else lives ,but here in albuquerque nm [the city] there are more doves in town then there were down south in nm when I hunted last year.I see dove on the way to work , at work ,and at home.It was warm this winter in Nm so maybe thats it.

They say it takes 8 shells to bag one dove -- if this is true, then I didn' t do to bad last season. Also, I did shoot one double.

dont think ive shot ten doves the last five years, ruff and blue grouse open the same day, and those pointing dogs love grouse. my dogs hate me right know, due to fishing being so good!

yesterday i planted about 5 acres of perdovik black oil sunflowers. it' s surrounded by about 3 acres of wheat. in mid august i' ll start bush hogging the wheat, and i' ll bush hog the sunflowers when they' re ready. there' s a couple very small patches of corn here and there, mostly for cover.

I kinda practice all year long, 2-3 visits to the skeet range each month. Busting clays is fun, but I can' t seem to find a good recipe Hoping to make some feather fly come October.

how far do those doves migrate in hawaii? from the north shore to the south, from the mountains to near the ocean?
