Dove Pics

Don't know if anybody in here is a dove hunter, but I took these pictures last night in the hayfield beside our house. These are a couple of our "tame" doves. I can't wait until September.

What happens in September?? Beat them with a stick to get them to fly then blow them out of the sky with shotguns??

Lol, from this pic that looks like what it would take doesn't it? We plant several food plots on the farm, and this year I did two of them for doves. It should be a good year for dove breast. Mmmmmm.

That's what they do with Pheasants in the UK. But I must admit, they taste better than clay pigeons.

Jimkim- you come over to my house after we shoot clays and fix us some. My clays never have any holes in them. Stupid shotgun...

I did alot of dove shooting in corn fields in Maryland 25 or so years ago , was a fast action hunt lots of fun. good memories

Used to do a bit of dove hunting over spent corn as a kid in KY... Loads of fun... Have to say my best day ever was like shootn' em in a barrel... Had a good cover of snow, and 3-400 bushels of feed corn in one of our tobacco barns... I left the vents open overnight and closed them in the morning... Two of us climbed the rafters and shot 60 with .22cal pellet guns that afternoon... Ethical? no But a real feast for a week... Did get my a$$ handed to me by my dad later that spring from all the holes in the tin roof!!!

Have to say I still take a few "bystanders" while quail hunting when they present themselves... Confuses my Brittany though...
