Packing up for the dove opener tomorrow. Heading 2 hours west hoping to find some birds, all birds close to home have disappeared. Will be scouting this evening, looking for a good shoot in the morning.

Morning started off slow, severe storms and wind overnight had the birds screwed up. Moved and found a field with birds, which I also have permission on. Ended with a 5 man limit of 75 dove, 17th consecutive year with a limit on the opener.
The worries of lack of work during the off-season went away fast, as Taz had a great day of marking and retrieving. Handling needs to be tidied up, but I expected that. The heavy rains did make sone nice hiding and cooling off spots. Morning was 61° with a slight breeze, way better than the 100 before storms arrived yesterday.

Dang, dove sitting might be alright at 60-some degrees. Never tried that.

It'[s nice Rick, doesn't happen often. 60 typically means birds are gone south. Did get to 82 before we were done.

Good work Jerry. Looks like Taz had fun too.

Taz was loving life, a rare day for a good dove hunt when it's cool and wet. Last 3 years have reached over 100 on the opener.
