Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 10:26 amGlad y'all killed a few birds, and found that you could get a teal hunt in same area later, nice!. Gotta "smoke'm while ya got'em" on the doves for sure, as you found, here today, gone tomorrow. Our biggest threat on spreading the doves will be in a few weeks, when everybody starts pulling peanuts out of the ground.

Either they're only coming in the afternoon or my "scout" is cooking the books to note he's seeing more than are actually there. I'm fine with it in either instance. I've grown to enjoy morning dove hunts much more than afternoon hunts for some reason. We probably saw 50-75 birds.
Have seen way more than enough doves disappear when a hunt is planned to testify on his behalf.
