After winning a private land dove hunt in the drawn hunts, today is officially my first day to ever dove hunt. What a fun hunt. It was me and three friends in Young County. They set us up in a back corner and that seemed to be the hottest spot and time all day.
We were there at sun up, left and sun down and took about an hour and a half lunch break. Seven birds between the four of us... not the numbers we hoped for, but a good time with friends nonetheless. The best part that the outfitter, since he had been canceling all of his other hunts due to lack of birds, offered a free hunt in October to make right by us. He said that he woulda canceled if he could have, but that he couldn't due to the contract with the state. So we can call today practice and hopefully those northern birds are here by the time October rolls around. I ended up with three after the morning and 1 shot all afternoon and evening.
