A group of 20 or more of us have been gathering for a "dove weekend" at the "Camp" belonging to one of our more affluent friends for many years. Most participants are the sons or grandsons of the original guys (going back for 50 years or so). I've been attending for over 20 years.
We shoot all three days of the Labor Day weekend opener. Usually we attend private or pay shoots in the middle GA area and we'll often split up into several shoots on the different days.
This weekend was another resounding success with great food, great friends and great shooting. Having enjoyed the good luck of dodging hurricane Isaac our fields were all in perfect shape. The places I shot, all private shoots, were all three purpose planted (sunflower, corn, and milo)and manipulated just for the dove shoots. We bagged a mixture of mourning doves and eurasian ringnecked doves.
My gun of the year was a 1900 Remington 16ga ejector gun with 30" open choked barrels. Perfect!...Geo
