Dove season opened here on Wednesday. Hunted Wed morning, Wed evening and Thurs morning.

Thurs morning was the best dove hunt I have ever been on. We were on the edge of a canola field by a busy county road that marked the city limits of a town south of here. Doves would come out of the town and fly over us out to the field. There was not any time when there were not doves in the air. We limited out very quickly. Just as the last one of us shot his last dove, it started to pour.

We have been eating doves wrapped in bacon constantly.

Would still be hunting today (original plan was to hunt morning and night from Wed to Sun), but dog got hurt so I had to drive back and take her to the vet. She blew out her ACL, so no more hunting this year, and have a thousand dollar surgery to look forward to.

How is the dove hunting everywhere else?

About twenty years ago, I was living in the country with my father.

Every time I'd get home from school, I'd look outside to an old dead tree we had about fifty yards from the house in the middle of a thicket. It would be loaded with doves.

With a .22, I could usually count on picking off two before the rest flew off.

My dig would run down and bring them back.........I'dd yank the breasts and freeze them.

In this manner, we collected enough to make a pot of sauce every couple weeks.

What kind of sauce?

We usually marinate ours in teriyaki and then wrap them in half slices of bacon and grill, or not marinate and then wrap in bacon and grill.

Yesterday, we took some and sprinkled them with Bass Pro Shops Uncle Buck fish batter, then wrapped them in bacon and grilled them. That was quite good also.

last time i went dove hunting, i took my daughter who was 10 at the time. i fell asleep and she walked back to the house to tell her mother that hunting wasn't any fun

poor puppy-dog...

Dig if you will the picture

Of you and I engaged in a kiss

The sweat of your body covers me

Can you my darling

Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a courtyard

An ocean of violets in bloom

Animals strike curious poses

They feel the heat

The heat between me and you

How can you just leave me standing?

Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)

Maybe I'm just too demanding

Maybe I'm just like my father too bold

Maybe you're just like my mother

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other?

This is what it sounds like

When doves cry

Touch if you will my stomach

Feel how it trembles inside

You've got the butterflies all tied up

Don't make me chase you

Even doves have pride

How can you just leave me standing?

Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)

Maybe I'm just too demanding

Maybe I'm just like my father too bold

Maybe you're just like my mother

She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other?

This is what it sounds like

When doves cry

How can you just leave me standing?

Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)

Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)

Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (Ya know he's too bold)

Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)

She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)

Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream? Why?)

This is what it sounds like

When doves cry

When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

Don't Cry (Don't Cry)

When doves cry

When doves cry

When doves cry

When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry)

Don't cry

Darling don't cry

Don't cry

Don't cry

I ate a bunch of pigeons in Morocco.

(And aren't they just doves with a bad publicist?)

Our season opens this weekend but it is just too damn hot to get out there and get after them.

When they cry...

DB...we're brewing this weekend!

Just getting ready to walk out the door and go and try for some more. Unfortunately, I get to be hunter and bird dog this morning, but it should be a good shoot.

I have a Tat Cojonu and a one pound prime rib waiting for me when this shoot is over, so it will be memorable one way or another.

Squab ain't nothin but pidgeon with a fancy name.

Dove hunting was always a blast in NC. I am not paying to hunt in Florida. I hear the public hunting areas suck.

Maybe I will just shoot some trap/skeet to justify not selling the Browning.

bastids cant get a dove season to pass in MI of all places !!!! OUTRAGE!
