Thanks. Ferdi
I think it's time for you guys to renew your fishing licenses also.
I remember opening day of dove season there, nobody went to school. It was a ritual for us growing up.
Doves were safe with me. I usually averaged 1 or 2 per box of shells. One particular bad shooting day, one circled around while I reloaded and gave me 3 more shots. Then he laughed as he flew off.
We have the ring neck dove here now and they have no season. Got to give a couple the taste test just to see if they are worth killin'. I had to give up on the mourning
dove cause they fly too fast. They say speed kills, but I've slowed down so much I'm no longer a threat.
Nah, you haven't slowed down. You just ain't as mad at them birds and deer as you use to be. You still have the stories to tell about those earlier days though. Keep enjoying them. Ferdi
They're fast for sure Joe, a real challenge. Like you, I probably wouldn't be as quick today. What aggravated me was those quail out in West Texas. They'd be just far enough out of range not to get a shot. Slowly move closer, and they'd they fly off for another 30 yards and land. If you took a shot, they'd bend down peck at the shot like it was feed.
Going to break out the 12 gauge.
I really don't hunt much any more, just too much trouble to find places, but fishing license I took care of that a little over 15 years ago now when I got my life time license. I just didn't want to deal with that every year and I got mine the year before they went up.
Since we are on the subject...Attachment 213480Tuesday morning. That's my dad and I. Our group of 5 killed 63.
Nice!
Voted for Prop 6 today.
Yall are killing me, LOL! You want to see something hard to hit try some snipe! Now that will get you practiced up if you can hit any, LOL! We use to do that at a place I was guiding for way back in the early 1970's in Katy TX. It was a strictly morning duck and goose hunts, but the guy would let us guides go if we wanted. There was a couple spots that had a lot of snipes so we started getting after them and boy talk about a challenge, now that was a good one and they eat well too!
I ended up getting my life time license for fishing about 16 years ago so I don't worry about that.
Now the Vote part, hell yes!
