My buddy and I did 52 total on Sun Morning and Evening and Monday morning, we then took the Monday afternoon off because we had the daily limit of Morning doves. Got a few of the Euro so it was really was some good shooting. 1st place we went to was 0 doves the next place had a huge number of them.

It was on the slow side near Exeter. I still managed to get my limit, but it took longer than usual. Hunted Sunday morning & evening and Monday morning. Numbers were way down from
previous years.

I shot over my overflowing horse trough in my pasture like I do once very 5 years of so. Used my male who enjoyed himself. After I was done, I walked to the house, let my female out and started cleaning birds. Next thing I know she had another live dove in her mouth. I re-counted, yep they were all there. Seems she picked up a dinger I didn't even know I hit, WHOOPS.

I'm shooting in oaks/pines with small windows, usually only one shot is all you get. There were a couple I thought I hit but didn't see a reaction.

This evening when I fed the horses I jumped at least 5 out of the trees over the water trough. I walked 100 yards, fed 3 horses and on my way back I jumped 3 right off of the water. This after getting 1" plus of rain yesterday. Thinking about an evening shoot later this week so the female can get some real retrieving in.
