Title: Dove hunt
Post by: muttbuster on July 30, 2009, 09:09:01 AM
Dove season is coming soon. How many guys would like to see some sort of state wide Dove hunt? Maybe for bragging rights or a small prize if the board agrees to it. Lets talk about it and see where it go's.

Ha MUTT-- Your only allowed 12 doves. To hard to measure from beak to tail? LOL   Can't weight them. To much lead in them. ;D

I was thinking total number over a two day period. If there is a tie then we can have a shoot off. We can keep going until someone wins. The elimination game. It's a lot of fun as the contest progress's.

how about who can kill the most doves with the least amount of shells?  LOL.  I would be game for even a dove hunt statewide.  get out and try hitting something the size golf balls that are dippin and divin with a shotgun.  maybe I might do a dist4 activty the same day.  round of sporting clays in the morning and then a dove hunt in the afternoon?  hmmm got me thinkin now.

A state wide hunt sounds good. Depends on how many guys want to hunt. The more I think about a "shoot off" in the event of a tie the more I like it. Especially if several guys tie the first day.

I think a dove hunt would be a great idea and someone correct me if im wrong but i think they changed the limit to 15 daily 30 possession at least thats what i think i read online in the federal waterfowl changes.  Either way i have shot very few limits but lots of shells LOL.

I'm game. I think it would be a great idea to have a dove hunt.
Dove hunters, once again, will have the opportunity to participate in a triple-split season. During the first season (Sept. 1-26), hunting will start at noon and close at sunset daily. The second and third splits will be Oct. 24-Nov. 28, and Dec. 26-Jan. 2, with hunting hours a half-hour before sunrise until sunset. In all three seasons, the daily bag limit will be 15, and the possession limit will be 30.

I'm not sure about the limit because that's something I've never had to worry about. My high number of doves is 6, I think. Maybe a couple more but no where near the limit. Any more feedback on this hunt?

Participants so far, Muttbuster, Foxpro51, Predator 77 for sure. C'mon guys, lets do some hunting. Who else wants to have a great day in the field for some good old fashion competition? Time to get out there and smooth out the rough edges from not hunting for a while.

I am game but doubt I would win.  which day are you doing this?  or weekend?

Post by: swarter2 on August 12, 2009, 04:50:22 PM
Well I guess I would win since I set up next to my in-laws bird feeder. LOL

How does Saturday the 12th sound? The first weekend is Labor Day weekend and some people won't be available and the 19th is our picnic.

Swarter2, will you be joining the hunt? If so, make sure you keep the feeder full. LOL

I am in if we see who shoots the most and has the leasst number of birds, lol. I am known to scare one to death.
Title: Re: Dove hunt
Post by: swarter2 on August 13, 2009, 04:53:44 PM
Yes, I'm in.  Forget the bird feeder though.  I'll have the wheel barrow filled to the top with decoys lined around the rim.  That should be good for 3 to 4 birds with one shot.

Archerobx, I'll bet I can waste more shells than you. LOL

Great, that gives us a total of 8 guys in the dove hunt so far. Lets go guys, lets hunt. I'm even going to give you all a handicap, I have a broken wrist with a cast and I'm still going. It will be a great day win or loose.

MB,

That cast sure is gonna stink somethin fierce by the end of a day hunting dove lol...I didn't read into this a whole lot, so sorry if this is already answered, but are we all goin out to a general area to hunt doves, or we doin a total number with a picture posted on here?
Title: Re: Dove hunt
Post by: muttbuster on August 14, 2009, 09:35:59 AM
cs51, everyone can hunt where they want and we will just send pics at the end of the day like we did with the hog hunt. The part about the cast having a stinkin odor, well, you can't have everything. I will soak it in perfume before the hunt.
Title: Re: Dove hunt
Post by: swarter2 on August 14, 2009, 04:19:44 PM
MB,

If you soak it with perfume you gonna attract all the woman.  Is that what you want to do in the field?

The way I see it is if I give then all a dove they will think I'm Romeo. I'll let you know if it works. Wait till I let you know BEFORE you break your wrist tho.

I can't wait to hit the field. I need to take my CZ Redhead Delux o&u out and shoot some clay birds first. Looks like this is taking the shape of a good hunt.
