Yes we have been see alot of birds this year. Hope the huge thunderstorms we got tonight didn't make them head to El Centro. LOL

figured it was gettin' close to the opener...cause they all left here a week ago.....used to love to dove hunt...ain't happening here in Wyoming..
 
Yes I'll be out there Wed. morning shooting holes in the sky.
The dove opener has always been a favorite of mine and a family tradition, my earliest hunting memories are family dove hunts with my dad, uncles, cousins.

p.s.
Hey Gator.. I'll be in the El Centro area and if I see some dove that look like they came from your place I'll shoo them back up north to you..
 
I'll be hunting around work. I'm going after some of those Eurasian Collared doves, they look like B52's compared to the Mourning Dove. I wish the Feds would move the season up one week because some of the mourning doves have left already.
 
I will probably head out to the eastern plains of co for a couple of days. I love a good dove shoot.

I see those eurasians around town, but can not find em where I can shoot them. Would like to get one someday.

good luck...
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-27-10 AT 05:07PM (MST)[p]There is no place to hunt doves up here in the redwoods, so I'm stuck popping one off now and then off the wife's bird feeder with my BB gun when she's in the shower.

She always asks about all the dove feathers on the ground. I tell her I think they start molting about Sept.1st.

Eel, It's a 20 cal. Sheridon pump pellet gun we use not a bb gun. You know the ethics police will call you on it.
 
Getting chilly here tonight,after 110 degree days at the start of the week what a change,It this dang wind that will move them out.
Jim send them back up here, I think we could use them.

Paul if you can't hit with that 1100 20ga I might have room in my gun safe. LOL

Hotter than hell one day and now it's very cool and windy..
 
Gator, thanks for the offer. You'd really sacrifice taking that no good shotgun? lol. Here in the Valley, it went from 111 Wednesday to 76 yesterday!!!..pc

I'm not going this year, at least i don't thing that i will. Last year was set up to be one of the best seasons in a long time. We had nice warm weather right up thru the opener. A bud and myself drove over the the Desert country in the far north Eastern portion of Kali and set-up in what looked to be a can't miss spot. We saw few birds and killed most of those that gave us a chance, killing half a dozen or so in the coarse of most of the day, picking one up here and there...

This year, we have already had some cold mornings and rain the past few days. I love a good Dove hunt-shoot but i'm not going to go just to be going. Not this year anyway.

Good luck to those of you that get out and get into them. Be safe!!!

Just checked the weather for Calexico and looks like it's going to be 107 for the dove opener and moving up to 112 by Friday.. gonna be a warm one. Good luck to all that are going.
 
We started off this morning at our regular field and it was very slow, we both only shot 1 bird each in 45 minutes. We moved to another spot we sometimes hunt and we were limited out in 15 minutes. lots of birds and it was a 50% bag of whitewings and the rest mourning dove. Saw several Eurasian's but did not shoot any. Going to take some guys out this afternoon that just arrived to the hotel to the place we shot this morning. I think the evening shoot will be even better than the morning hunt and I am certain they will have a hell of a shoot. We will be back at it in the a.m.
 
LAST EDITED ON Sep-01-10 AT 07:48PM (MST)[p]spent a few minutes before work and bagged 7 mourning doves and one eurasian. The eurasian sure is plump!
 
Best opener in 7-8 years had tons of doves everyone limited out, Lots of birds was still coming in as we packed up to leave.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-02-10 AT 06:31PM (MST)[p]We hunted again this morning and it was a great shoot. we hooked up with a large group staying at our hotel and we took them to a young palm grove we hunted opening morning and they were had quick limits yesterday afternoon.

The same group (13 of us) went out this morning to the same palm grove and it was limits for all and back in town at the hotel by 8:00 a.m. Lot's of white-wings and everyone was able to add a few Eurasians to their bags as well. Great shoot..

Gator, I'm glad all those birds I scared off the other day went back up to your place...
Jim
 
They came back in big groups Jim thanks for pushing them back up. LOL
Paul it was up here next to the Mojave river in Hesperia area.
Last night did some pass shooting (birds headed back up hill to roost) got 8 and missed 25 or so LOL I was in a small place that it was just some of the quick type shooting, I haven't had to do in a long time they was coming in between trees you got one short look and then they was gone out of sight the little 20ga over and under was the ticket for that fast swing. it was a blast will be hoping they stay around for a few more days.
