Isn't 15 the limit?
National average is 4 birds per 25 rd. box. I started out batting .1000, but that quickly changed! So much for averages......
The absolute best part of my day was that I took a shotgun with me that I had picked up in a trade on here from a great member (walnut furniture Stoeger STF2000 28") that I had never fired since I got it, so wasn't sure if I would be shooting or spectating! I was pleasantly surprised how it cycled/ejected everything I fed it (low and high brass), seemed to pattern exceptionally well, and was an overall pleasure to shoulder and shoot! I was so pleased with it that I plan to keep it and have it as my trusted partner during the upcoming Turkey season! It was an awesome day!
I was right down the road from you. Our field is probably 5 acres and have been going there for years. It's right off I 20 between Temple and Bremen. Hit and miss every year but we almost limited yesterday and had a great time. It's a family thing with us. My son killed his first dove yesterday and I was thrilled. Me more than him! Weather was awesome and got caught up with my cousins when the birds weren't flying. Got 14 cleaned and frozen for a dove cook in Roswell where no one would even think about eating those poor critters.
