Looks like part of my dinner after sundown last night.

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.

That's great! My.boys are 9 and 6 and was itching to shoot my 12 gauge. We were just right off of hickory level. About 2 miles from I-20 from the temple exit. It went well. I only got to stay for about 3.5 hrs. Shot 3 birds. Could have had 6 if my wife didn't get so competitive and want to shoot my gun! But it was fun watching her and the kids. Congratulations to you and him. We had to leave when it was getting good around 4 pm.

Per Bird ???

Haha, that's more like it.

National average is 4 birds per 25 rd. box. I started out batting .1000, but that quickly changed! So much for averages......

Well I was below the national average yesterday. 7 dove/3.5 Boxes= 2 per box. Had an awesome time.

When I was a young man I shot high brass.... insisted on it. Now I'm an old man and Remington Sureshot feels like high brass. My shoulder feels like a mule kicked it .....twice!

Does killing doves give you a hard on?

You are a jerk

Install a Kick Eezz recoil pad, it make all the difference in the world.
