I drove 300 miles from Los Angeles to Yuma Arizona this afternoon. Highs reaching to 111.
We scouted about two hours in the late afternoon and found several promising dove flyways. Birds are everywhere and in great numbers.
At about 5 PM we witnessed flight after flight of dove in waves returning to the roost.
We are going to hunt this hillside reminiscent of a moonscape, doves flying adjacent to freshly cut hay fields.
We will be just below the hills crest with great visibility to oncoming dove.
Who can sleep, it's like the night before Christmas.
A safe hunt to all.
One of these days, I would love to come shoot doves in the desert Southwest setting you describe, Bob. Sounds absolutely wonderful.

It was my first time hunting Yuma and it was absolutely unbelievable.
More dove than I've ever seen and flying faster than I thought any dove could.
Semi mountainous terrain with doves divided between high flyers and those hugging the lunar-like deck.
Limits reached late with extra freebie Eurasians throw in.
It was really quite a humbling shooting event, wouldn't have missed it for the world.
