I need to look into that next season. After what I saw at the TWRA Percy Priest field Saturday, I may never hunt a public field again. I saw some genius shoot a bird on the ground, firing toward a row of corn, and not bother to holler toward the hunters to make sure nobody might have been directly behind that bird. The same genius later on walked out to flush a bird that landed. This dove barely cleared the row of corn, which is just a tad taller than me, and shot that bird. That type of idiocy is going to badly injure or kill someone during a dove hunt, it's only a matter of time. I'm definitely a supporter of the 2nd Amendment but some people are just too stupid to have guns and they're the ones that give us a bad name.
I made up for the opening day fail though. I have 13 doves in my fridge right now thanks to my Father carving out a few small fields on his land that he hunts. He said I can use them before deer season so he planted sunflowers and millet. I was able to jump shoot several, quail hunting style, as well as sit and see singles and doubles come over the trees and pick them off. Nice and peaceful, no morons, and I have another shot this weekend to get more if I don't have to work.
