As I recall, guys like you get pissy when everyone starts shooting at power lines.

I use to love dove hunting with my uncle as a kid. I was the retriever lol. If the bird wasn't dead I would shoot it in the head with my red ryder. I want to get back into it at some point. Need to get a good shotgun 1st. #goals

Avoid an 18 inch cylinder bore barrel, dont ask me how I know as I'm still scared for life from that day.

Oh, and while a 556 will get the job done the resulting harvest of meat is less than ideal.

God I miss hunting.

When using a 5.56, aim for the bicep.

Where exactly would one find a dove’s bicep?

Today was a total bust. Had some weird weather - wind out of the North - for a while today. Birds were gone. Three hours out hunting, shot three shells at two very far away birds.

Yeah, those grey s.o.b.s will move south with a tailwind - & not come back.

Lots of birds flying around El Campo area hope they stay around 2more weeks

I hunted there yesterday, bagged 9. All of them flying high and in pairs. Not many large groups.
I will come back next year and see how I do.

4 of us took 60 birds in 90 min down near Castroville yesterday. It was like a dove snow globe. 28 ga was perfect.

Were you north of Castroville or south of town?

 

[Sam Colt]

Down in the south zone.

Heard some shooting this morning. Stopped by 9.
I went out last weekend with daughter 1, her BF and some friends. Saturday afternoon was meh...we got maybe 50 birds between the 8 of us. Sunday morning was no bueno. I got 2 in the first 15 mins. then nada. maybe 3-4 more birds total in the group. Fun weekend, though.
Dove hunting with friends and family is fun.

I'm headed back out in a few hours. A friend and I got ~20 last weekend. My place is really muddy and slick after a rain, so I hope it's dried up enough this afternoon. My 2WD, open diff truck can get stuck on wet grass.

I once got stuck in a service van that was fully loaded with material in mud. We required a forklift with a extended boom to pull us out.
It was a shitty day.
