My son and I shot 16 Sat morning, no eurasians. We only had about 3 hours to hunt. Wife makes bacon puree and sticks it on em and we kabob them on the bbq, had a hatch pepper between each breast on the stick. Very, very good.

Bad lighting, but here is our take and the proud (and tired) pup that fetched them all. 23 between two of us. Lost another 4 that we didn't get the dog on quick or accurate enough.

we had a group of about 10 guys, we all limited in the morning on sat, sunday and monday. I did snap one pick, and will post later...All mourning dove, and it was basically hunt by water and protect the cows. from the evil dive bombers. I cannot believe how much grain those lil bastards eat when you get enough of them. All of em were full of corn/wheat/sunflowers. We were in McCook Ne...

I didn't get an exact count for the group that I hunted with, but I got my limit both on Sunday and Monday. I even used the 4-10 Monday evening to fill my limit, the shooting was just that good. One eurasion and I killed it.
We were out near Deer Trail.

(pssst...it's mourning doves, not morning. Comes from their call that sounds like a cry of mourning)

Man, I haven't hunted doves since I was in my 20's in OK! Always loved it, but we usually got skunked or only got a few. We always called them turtle doves, never understood where that name came from. Nowadays they come to my bird feeders.

Glad the hunting is good. Will take the boy out this week, if it ever clears.
