Dove hunting

Greg,


Nice pic. Looks like a good field, can see them coming from a distance. I try to hunt similar fields.

Looks like it might be a washout this weekend though

Thanks for the pics Greg. I have been watching the forecast with my fingers crossed. Forecast looks slightly better up at Kankakee than it does in the Indy area.

Winamac last yr. Heard front coming (wind over crops/trees way back), then as packing got drenched.

Its going to be tough to hunt anything is weekend. Bring the rain gear boys.

We didn't get into the field we wanted so tried a new one at Winamac.
Pretty well drenched by 2pm, we packed it in.

Of course now the weather looks way better.

My stats for the 2 hrs............

Birds shot at= 14
Total number of shots= 17 (shot at 3 birds twice each- one was hit twice)
Birds downed= 8 (couldn't find 2 of them).

So brought home 6, out of 17 shells (no cherry picking). Tolerable. Had a great time just getting out. Pouring water from my gun repeatedly, not so cool, but there were birds about.

Used my 870 Supermag turkey gun, 23" bbl with Mod Remchoke, and #6 steel. Not the ideal setup but it works.

Now to dry all my crap and get my gun cleaned/oiled up.

My buddy and I killed our limits at Roush FWA today. We got sprinkled on but not the heavy rain predicted by the weather man. I don't think everyone else did as well as we did though.

I used my 870 Express with #7 steel. We had one mojo decoy and a couple others on a home made dove tree. Good fun was had by all.

Glad you had better weather and got enough for a meal!

Thought about sticking it out, couldn't get any wetter, but decided to split and justify a return another day (to limit out)

Am now out of Remoil, flooded my beater Express Supermag with it after blow off.

We did not receive any rain up north at Pigeon River but there were not that many doves either. Come back and have been killing them every day. This weekend should be good nother cold front up north. Birds should be moving
