my boss.....35 yours ago, shared a story from Field & Stream or some such on hunting dove. I had never done so at that time and although I have only bird hunted a couple of times now (never dove) the story was hilarious and has stuck with me all these years. Bottom line is what I said above and like you, every dove hunter I have talked to agrees.
yes!
and that, too!
yes, Uvalde area
My dad musta muffled quite a few guffaws watching Lil Mike shooting dove. Lil Mikey was given a single shot 410 for the task! Eventually he learned what to do and what not to do and was able to collect a few limits along the way - even though the limits sometimes took 3 days to get. When he got the 20 ga - Lil Mikey thought he could do anything! A 12 ga woulda made him faint with giddiness!
I want to add a nice 20 ga over/under one of these days!!!! My dream gun if I can ever get back out and do some bird hunting.
Are you talking about Midnight Rope-A-Hoe?
25 minutes back to the Corps dorms……but same walk!
Wish we could become an independent nation again!
So do I!
It was 187 years ago today, on Feb. 23, 1836, that the advance guard of Santa Anna’s Army of Operations reached Béxar (San Antonio). In The Alamo, William Travis and Jim Bowie had not expected the Mexican troops to arrive until the middle of March. Santa Anna sent forth an emissary to demand the surrender of The Alamo "at discretion," i.e. without any agreement regarding how the defenders of The Alamo would be treated were they to surrender.
