Same here in PA.
Will for sure. I work til 5 though…but, on a positive note my dove plot looks killer. Sorghum, millet, and tons of sunflower. ‘Nother few weeks and it’s time to bush hog some.
I may go to a pay hunt Monday
It looks like it will be a hot one and probably a tough one this year as dry as it has been.
Zach, I think you’re safe on public land from drinkers, I would worry more so about folks shooting low birds when hunting on public land.
Im sure geese are free game again here this year. they are usually open from labor day until the end of duck season
I’m looking forward to shooting a new 391 Urika 20ga. My shoulder will thank me next week
Urika 391? That’s an awfully nice autoloader Adam. In GA do you have a shell capacity limit? Here in PA it’s three.
I got a new toy at the end of last grouse season that I’m anxious to use. mid 1940s L.C Smith Ideal Grade 16GA. 28″ in rare mod/mod. A buddy reloaded a couple boxes of light #7-1/2s for me for grouse. Shoots the fake birds pretty well for me, course, I’m used to sxs double trigger setups.
I have a 12ga urika field gold that is a stud, but my wifes 20ga urika is perfect for me. My paw in law found a 20ga urika sport gold last week on a deal that is set up lefty so im going to try it out and see how i like it.
we are 3 shot only with mandatory plugs here in GA. I really only shoot the third shot if i miss the first bird on shot 1 & 2 and a second comes in before i can reload.
usually if i miss the first 2 shots on a bird, the third isnt going to do it either.
LC smith’s are great ou’s and a mod/mod config is a good setup for dove!
It was darn hot here yesterday for the dog we did a walk around the edge of a bean field and got 6 out of the stones, and with it being 97 today I think we’ll hold off. My dove gun is a 20ga SxS with dual triggers using 8’s so I don’t bother with the long shots. Heading down to the river to check on the Teal for tomorrows opener should be some carp in the low water area’s.
Thanks for the reminder Dave I have a flat of 16ga shells and my Great Uncles SxS to play with.
Hunted opening day yesterday just north of Dallas, very slow day with 6 birds total. I will be picking up my son from school and heading back to my farm this afternoon. Hopefully we will have better luck.
