I have not been posting for quite a while being busy with School, Work, and Traveling. For this off topic post I thought I would share with you my first mourning dove hunt, ironically, hunting in the evening
I was hunting by myself and got 3 dove. I had to pick my shots carefully because I was the shooter and the retriever. For the first bird I got he came flying in with some others and I took my shot. I missed him and he circled back, the next shot hit him and he curled up and was heading for the ground. With a swamp in front and heavy brush behind me he fell 1 foot away from the path. Which made it easy to find and exciting!

First Dove!

Tasted like store bought chicken. My mom wouldn't try it and I have no idea why. I told her it was fresher than any stuff she got from the store but she didn't care. What's the secret to getting people to try game?!
