Looks like if you don’t kill them it is your own fault!

Going to be a good time.

I’m heading down to Alice Friday for early white wing. We have a decent amount of birds so hope to shoot a couple limits.

Didn’t do much this morning, saw more teal than doves. Grabbing a bite and a nap and going to make a location change

Please keep this facebook post in mind my stepmother sent me before and during your hunt.

quote:

Did you know that Doves are among the few bird species that mate for life, with some pairs staying together for over 20 years?

This remarkable phenomenon has captivated humans for centuries, inspiring poets, writers, and artists with their extraordinary monogamy and deep emotional connections.

Doves form strong pair bonds through elaborate courtship displays, mutual preening and grooming, and shared parenting responsibilities.

Their loyalty is unwavering, with pairs staying together through thick and thin.

In fact, when a Dove loses its mate, it can experience intense grief, leading to emotional distress, loss of appetite, and even death.

A poignant photograph by James Yule captures the heartbreaking moment of a Dove mourning the loss of its partner.

This powerful image highlights the depth of their emotional connection and the devastating impact of separation.

The Dove's story serves as a reminder of the transformative power of love and commitment.

Their remarkable fidelity has made them a symbol of devotion, cherished by many.

Doves are found in woodlands, gardens, and farmlands across Africa, Europe, and Asia.

They feed on seeds, fruits, and insects, and are currently listed as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting.

The enduring bond of Doves is a testament to the beauty and depth of their relationships, reminding us of the importance of loyalty, love, and companionship.

I got my limit in about 45 minutes. We sat until 10AM and my 11 year old son got 4.

He’s shot a few out of trees the last few years, but this was his first year connecting on flying birds. He was shaking with buck fever when he knocked his first one out of the sky.

Glad you had a good hunt.

We didn’t do so well as that little cool front pushed our birds.

But had a great time anyway. Our 13 1/2 year old Lab probably made his last hunt so it was about him today.

It rained right before dark the day before our hunt and cooled it down to 69 opening morning. It seemed like some birds had left, but there were still plenty.

It was so foggy, shooting time was 6:38 but I didn't fire a shot until 7:20 or so. I picked up my last bird, put it in my bucket and looked at my phone. It was 8:07.

I hope we still have birds this weekend like we did last weekend. Going to make a few sits to see if I can see a few bucks I have on camera in the am.

We can only hunt 12:00 to sunset.

Going to get up in the am and retry to get eyes on this guy in person and shoot a pig if I can then dove hunt the afternoons for white wing. He’s been teasing me everyday showing up since my last trip when I didn’t see him.

Photoshopped. Look at the shadows.

I think as a real hunter that respects and loves nature, we understand the circle of life. Hell, I watch birds and deer probably more than I hunt them now. And from reading many posts on here, a lot of us do.

But I reserve my right to hunt them as we all do.

Thus, the circle of life. As beautiful as nature is that we see, the animals in it are naturally selfish and cruel. Survivalists. That is what these anti-hunter Leftists cannot comprehend.

Nature in reality is not rainbows and unicorns, yet it is still beautiful to those that can understand.
