Record-setting day (for me, anyway) dove hunting on public land this morning. Ten doves, including a double. Finding them in the tall weeds was often a challenge.

That's my trusty 16-gauge in the pic. I was shooting mostly 6s but switched to 7.5 toward the end.

Public land on the coast. Got five on one of our trips. This was our first time shooting early teal. Video on facebook/youtube page.

Wyoming DIY public lands draw hunt

That will make a nice mount

I caped him out and he is at Alpine Taxidermy for a shoulder mount.

Gus Engeling draw hunt yesterday.

Very nice Palehorse!

That's a good public land buck.....for sure!

Public land somewhere in Texas....

Palehorse, I appreciate and congratulate you for showing the traditional respect that you did for a damn fine public land buck!

Thanks Red Cloud. I'm happy you noticed the "letzebissen". My family has done that for generations.

The "Nutter Butter" buck. Killed on a youth hunt at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, unit 7. First buck for my daughter.

That is a heck of a deer for that young lady, does BG stand for Blooming Grove?

SHNF Thanksgiving day.

Holy cow that's a mess of tree rats!!!! They are my favorite small game mammal to eat.

Got caught up on this topic, great stories and pictures!

To "the coach"
yes, sir. BG is Blooming Grove

Cell phone quality isn't too good. thought this was interesting behavior though. Kerr WMA management hunt. That is a decent buck and in front of him is a "harvested" doe. In the trees behind the buck is a "harvested" spike. They just would not leave the corn. Had to chase the buck away to go pick up the two deer.
