Went to Yuma over the weekend for some doves, and damn was it good! Last weekend of the first season, and there was just as many birds as the opening day in the IV.
BTW, it’s been 30 years since I dropped a dove, so I think I did alright. First day (Saturday) I got four, and once we learned the area, and and our shots, we did a lot better on Sunday, which I got 14, except I lost one. It was wounded, but still had some flight ability and it got too far from me to be able to retrieve it.
All of the smoke from California’s fires kept the temps down some. Low 70’s in the morning, and only reaching 100 in the afternoon. It was warm, but tolerable.[attachment=3331]
