Dove Opening day- How was it?

[buckpasser]

I took my son for his first ever dove shoot that he could be a participant in. He got up early and fed calves all summer to earn the cash to get his youth model 20 ga. Couldn’t believe how well he did! He shot less than a box and dropped 6 as a first time wing shooter. I think he will be a much better shot than Dad!

Forecast called for a washout . Rain all day. I almost cancelled. I didn't and everyone had a great time. Not a single drop of rain or even a raincloud. I think we need a hunting season for weather forecasters.

Not sure where you're at but there is a couple of them in the market place. Tri-Star Viper

Saw lots of birds but they stayed behind the treeline and most did not come into field. The ones that did mostly stayed high. Not sure why...really nice sunflower field.

It’s a Turkish made Escort. I would have normally advised my son to stay away from it, but it came highly recommended by my gun dealer and seems to function pretty well so far. It comes with 3 extra stock shims to lengthen it about another 3/4” or so. They said it was built after an 1100 and does resemble one, but I’m not sure if that’s true or not.

We had a good time. Plenty of food and drinks, friends and family and a few birds for fun and no rain.

 

[Michael F Sights]

Had a great time, shooting was a little off, me & a friend (shooting from same bale) killed 17

Which youth hunt were you on? We were at Redlands and it was good just too crowded.

Better shooter than me.

Walton Youth Hunt was very slow compared to past years. We left at 1 so the afternoon may have been better. Sunflowers, burned wheat, and millet were on the ground. Slow day on a buddy's field in Greensboro also.

 

[Beagler]

Slow on my field in elbert county. The slowest I’ve ever seen it.
