Given the new site a go.

Summer is in full swing here in Utah and hunting time is hard to come by. I noticed the old site was changing and I was MIA for a few weeks. But I have been able to get down to the dairy a few times in the last couple of days. And I can say for certain that all of the young birds are out in force. The populations have basically tripled in the last few weeks. Starlings, both types of doves, brown headed cowbirds, you name it there all there. Today I was able to harvest a few doves with the Big Cat. The pictures of the 350 were taken a few days ago. I feel kind of like I'm cheating all my shot gunning buddies are waiting for the Mourning Dove opener on the first of September, but I've been on the Eurasian Doves all year long. I enjoyed a nice dove dinner just last night. And will have another one in the coming days.
Enjoy the pics and it's good to read stories and see your guys pictures again.

Glad you found us- welcome back! Nice shooting on the doves. I also found squirrel hunting was like cheating when I went back to Michigan- my buds all had PBs and I had an airgun. I got way more than they did. Stealth and precision gets 'em every time (almost).

Nice to have you back with us
Great shooting on those doves and the pics were great. I envy you.... sure wish I had those doves to shoot at
all I have is a ton of mourning doves but in New York they are considered "song birds" and as such you cannot hunt them. Having eaten dove in the past I sure hope NY someday changes the laws.... nothing better than a good pair of doves for dinner....
Anyway, glad you're back with us. Already looking forward to your next hunt buddy.....

If it was easy it wouldn't be hunting it would be shopping.

I am also jealous of the Eurasian doves. I LOVE dove. Congrats.

When hunting zombie starlings, there are two approaches. The first approach is the "Double-Tap". The alternative is cutting their heads off and putting toothpicks through their hearts.
It's your choice.

Glad you are back! I missed your posts! I'm tired of looking at chippers, tree rats, and starlings. Bring on the doves!

Welcome back Dave!
Very nice shooting and pics. Like Jeff, I wish we had Eurasian Doves in NY!!
I 'd love to try them out for dinner or lunch
We can't even shoot the Mourning doves. What's up with that?
