It is interesting, being a life long hunter and growing up around 'outdoors' people. The more time I get one social media the less I find people get outside, especially hunting.
Really bugging me I am not out today, but I know I have a lot of season ahead of me.

It's not something I've been able to do for about 7 years now. But, I sure plan to enjoy some dove meat supplied by family here soon. Good luck to your season!0

Beautiful day for being out. Great pic.
Our season in VA starts on the 5th I believe. I may try some dove kabobs, that sounds fabulous.0 -
The best!

Great pics! Here are mine from last year. The little ones just used their bb guns but will be shooting a 410 this year

@Chaelaz depends on location and field prep here. The field above didn't have a lot of ground cut up and most of the birds were too high. We stayed on the tree line and did pretty good. Another field that we hunted was near a lake and right against the power lines. We could really whack them there. There's probably 30-40 of us that hunt together and have a big 3 day party since our season always opens on labor day weekend. I can't wait! Last year it rained a good bit and we called it dove-stock. Here's my daughter enjoying it. The pic with your son is so sweet!

LOVE IT!
@jodybo2 We do groups as well and really can hit anywhere in the desert to hunt, but usally park up around watering holes and new agro fields.
Nice this is being able to hit three species - white wing, mourning, and Euros. I actually started an opening day back around 2008 hitting the hat-trick and got one of each in my first three shots!

Nope. Only because I didn't grow up dove hunting. Not many doves in Idaho. Even now that I'm in the Midwest pretty much stick with pheasants, turkeys and deer.
But, sure do miss sage hen hunting or forest grouse.0 -

@piperdown44 Heck, I will take any of that wingshooting! We don't have much pheasant unless you hit a hunting club. We do have some Chukar, but you gotta REALLY want it to hit those lands and mountains. And I have hunted grouse a few times here, but there is limited areas. We have only ever got one Blue Grouse.
We have great turkey hunting though, and out elk and mulies are pretty epic.

Only sucky thing is that for me to get to good hunting I've got to get up at 2-3 am and head over to my wife's cousins town 3 hours away just to hit 30 mins before daybreak.
Sure was nice growing up and just strolling out to the fields on the farm where I grew up. Or driving 15 mins and getting to one of my uncles places.
Chukar....those birds are like...."hey I think I sa.....damn they're gone!". My uncles always said "if you can hit chukars, you can hit any type of bird". Point being...most of the time I missed...lol But there are some skittish pheasants and ducks I can tell you that much!
Speaking of mulies, took me a long, long time to get used to how people in the midwest counted antlers. When I first got out here and heard things like "got a 6 point" or "got an 8 point this weekend" I was thinking monster bucks. Then I saw them and was like "WTF"! My boss at that time finally clued me in that they count all the main antlers, where out West we count by side. So those "6 points" were 3 pointers in my lexicon.
