I was in the field ready 15 minutes before legal this morning, hunted all day minus some driving to different fields time, minus a 1.5 hr nap in the truck, and I finished at legal watching the sunset tonight. Saw a few in Hunt county. This morning a father/son combo was on a flight path and son managed to scratch out 3-5 dove. I had some fly over me but couldn't position to see them coming because of the sun. I tried an evening hunt -- the father/son left after the morning and the spot was open, but no birds flying that position.

Dove in Hunt county so far:

9/1 1 hr evening hunt 1 bird (I coulda shot a few more, just busy talking with Team Hillbilly rather than "hunting" and it was more memorable that way, just wish I'd taken a picture of his puppy lab pointing my dead bird).

9/4 4.5 hrs evening: picked up someone else's cripple and put it out of its misery.

9/5 6 hrs afternoon / evening: 0 birds.
9/6 2 hrs morning : 0 birds.
9/7 13 hrs morning, afternoon, night: 0 birds.




CTK3, I enjoyed my time in the field, to some extent. Not nearly as much as if I had shot 52 birds in four hunts though.
