My opening day...

Foggy, humid, sticky... We were sitting there waiting on sunrise -- or at least enough light to see... A little after 7am, there they were...

"Up high!" The 12 gauges barked and the first doves of the day, flew by unscathed... ::huh: And so did the next ones, and the next ones...r and the...... well, you get the point.

Gents, I couldn't hit the ground with a shovel this morning! But here are our stats - 3 boxes of shells, 3 doves, 2 of which were given to us. 2 we couldn't find. Had we found them, total would have been 5.

That was between me and my wife. :banginghe The one I got, was so close a .410 would have done him in. The doves were flying, but we were missing...

Maybe it'll be better this evening or tomorrow. ~*fingers crossed*~

Here's my wife missing one... :eek:

Sounds like how I shoot sometimes!! One day I can't miss, limit out with 20 shells, next day, like you said, can't hit ground with a shovel. Sure you all had a blast any way. Better than a good day at work. :bounce:

It is the hardest thing a good rifle shooter can do. Shoot where they are not at yet. Lead them about 4 feet. :eek:ut:

Now now, do y'all honestly think I would shoot a dove off a powerline??? :D

How "ethical" would that be? ;)
