First pair came over the field got dropped
Then this ol' girl showed up and stayed in the field for almost an hour. She's poor from feeding 2 babies
Late afternoon I stood up and shot a pair of doves.. Looked down and this was 10 ft. from the chair I been sitting in all evening with his head held up
What kind of rattler is it? He was over 3-1/2" in length. But was thick as hell,almost coke can size. Bastard scared the shite outta of me..Somebody send out Alx's snake id beacon signal

Me and my cuz limited out. 30 tween the 2 of us. Damn snake scared me to death. I was in the middle of reloading and happened to look down. He had his head held up kinda looking around I guess.

Looks like a timber rattler. With all the yahoos hooping and hollering and shooting at each other where I dove no way a deer would show up

You guys weren't the one shooting over in Owens Cross Roads were you? I sure hope not...cuz that sure was a lot of shooting for 2 birds.

Haha! No that wasn't us. We were over towards Muscle Shoals,but we did do a lot of shooting!The spent shells to dead bird ratio was kinda embarrassing

Damn thank god I didn't see that. The damn fire ants are all that got us. Killed three doves one twity bird and found zero of them with one lanes 20 feet from me still couldnt find it. Guys next to me shot 6 and found two, other buddies shot 5 found zero. Man we needed a dog the field was way too high. If I would have sen your pic Friday I would have never walked though all that shite. (lol) I heard a huge wasp hornets nest close to where the dove 20 feet away was so i didn't push the first one too much lol

Shooting or shouting? Cause I can envision both scenarios...

quote:3 boxes of shells= 75 shells divided by 15 doves= 5 shots per dove, kill ratio of .20.
3 boxes of shells later, I had my 15 bird limit
BTW, I usually only bring 15 shells in the field when I go dove hunting!
