179 days since the season for quail closed,
220 days since the season for ducks closed, and
227 days since the last season for doves closed.
It's 6 days before the opening day of Dove Season. Everyone is getting ready. Wally world has the cheap boxes of shells out, my brother is calling with his plans, fields are being cut and raked for the big event, and the doves have started their annual mocking of me.
It's true, I see more doves flying over vacant lots and sitting on power lines as I drive by. And for some reason there are an inordinate amount of doves flying over my yard, setting in a tree and for some unknown reason, they seem to be mocking me.Its like they know the season is coming up, and this is their last chance to get at me before I can talk back. They seem to be everywhere. And I believe that the dove perched on the power line outside my window just flipped me the feather.
OK birds, just 6 more days. Enjoy it now, I'll be having the fun on Saturday.

Thanks,

the dove in the picture you have up is a Eurasion collard dove... an invasive species and in many states you can shoot them all year long!
I have been hunting them all offseason, and it has done wonders for morale!
