Dove is in the Air!

That is right my friends it is September 1st yet again. Today is the official day when Fall begins. College Football fans can be heard around the country and the smell of gun powder is in the air. There is a a small but nice sharpness in the air today which means only one thing... Hunting Season has begun. Today we will head out around 4pm and try our luck on some various spots for the doves. The dove are alot of fun to shoot. They are quick and agile and do not fly in a straight pattern which makes them even more difficult to shoot. I am already looking forward to Quail and Hun opening which will be in about 20 days. Then onto the bird I love to hunt most Pheasant! Pheasant will not open until October 18th this year which will give plenty of time to hunter and dog to harness there skills and prepare themselves. I wish everyone the best and we will see how we fair.

Our shooting was ok last night as we were able to take home 10 birds. As far as shooting at Pheasant... you just have to lead them a bit.. lol. No in all seriousness I think that Pheasant are beautiful. I have a great deal of appreciation for them also.
