    You, my friend, are doing it right. And thanks for taking me to school on the eating the heart thing. Freaky, but then so is oatmeal when you think about it.

    Lol I'm glad I can help clarify. Not everybody may agree with everybody's tradition or way of life. But I want as we understand where other people's point of use come from and not just judge them off that I think that will help make this world a better place in general. So I appreciate you being open minded :smile:

    Tonight is the night before dove season. I love getting ready about almost as much as going hunting. The anticipation and camaraderie is awesome.

    Checklist follows:
    • Shotgun (benelli super vinci) has correct choke tubes....check
    • Shells in backpack...check.
    • Cammo all laid out...check.
    • Water bowl and about 20 bottles of water for my sons black lab....check
    • Migratory bird and hunting license printed out and in ziploc baggie...check
    • Talked with my oldest son and best hunting buddy at least 3 times today...check
    • Batteries in head-lamp...check
    • 5-gallon haul/spent shell casing bucket in truck already...check
    • Alarm set...check

    Tomorrow morning I will be watching the sun come up with my oldest son and two of his buddies and an 18-month old black lab named Lacy. This will be Lacy's first dove hunt. She has been on a few duck hunts and she has had some excellent retrieves and a few that were still puppy-like. A working dog is a beautiful sight to behold.

    For those non-hunters that read this. FYI - we will police the area before we leave picking up all shell casings and any errant trash that has not made it into our buckets. Our motto is to take your legal limit and leave nothing but footprints.

    P.S. - I don't need to get my limit of 15 - I just need one more than my son gets B) But truth be told, it will probably be who get's their limit first. Bacon wrapped, smoked, jalapeno stuffed dove poppers will be eaten this weekend

    Archery hunter here. Got my 10 yr old his first Tom this last spring. Scouting, shed hunting, and hanging stands are my favorite ways to exercise! Being in the woods is my reset button. Truly a relaxing place. Thankful for the amazing animals that provide my family and I with protein.

    What an awesome thread. My husband and my 10 year old hunt. We always have some deer in the freezer. So many people don't understand that hunters do a service for the forest and habitats.

    Rich folks our chasing something they wont eat or use, Those little foxes don't have a chance against that mob... I bet you $100 that guy on that horse does not even know how to put a saddle on a horse correctly. He has servants to do that for him.
