First shot at 0630 this morning. Got 6 by the time had to leave for work. All Eurasian collared.
Hopefully wife has them cooking up now.

Made it out to Kinney SWA for opening day; first shot about 6:10, last shot about 7:50 - 11 birds
headed back to the farm in KS. for the long weekend and will get into them there, and get a load of firewood too, just to make the trip worth while.
Do you have turkey or pheasant on that land.
My family's farm is far enough east that there aren't many pheasant although the quail numbers are doing better and the turkeys, yeah lots of turkey. We managed to find our share of dove this trip, although the first evening was slow, we made up for it the other 3 evenings when we found "the spot".
If you could send me the info I would love to get out and get some of those pesky bird of the farm. I hunted both south of Hays and north and east of St. Francis last year on walk-in public land and did well. There are some huge Toms out there. I almost got stomped by a big Buck he never saw me until he was about a foot from me as I had my back to a tree and was in full camo when I turned to look at him he noticed me and got very mad that scared him.
Did you just invite yourself to hunt on somebody else land?Quote:

We went out to our land Saturday and all did well. Only a few below limit. The mosquitos were horrid though.

I have been showered with shot standing in the parking lot at Pueblo SWA talking to the game warden. Its a war zone there during opening day/weekend. Any public spots near a major city will be overrun with people during the busy times in the season. With dove, you will normally see a big drop after the first 2 weeks of the season.Quote:

I've never been dove hunting, would like to try it sometime.
Only eaten dove once, in elk camp a few years back. One evening one of the group was passing around a big tupperware full of dove breasts wrapped in bacon.
Best-Thing-Ever. After the first one I wanted to jump in with both hands, could have eaten them all myself.
