JR,

I've heard others say that shooting in the morning is a bad thing but never understood it. Can you explain? I've never figured why shooting a dove at 900 am is any more damaging than shooting one at 100 pm. I grew up in Texas where we could shoot them all day for the entire season and it was quite a shock when I moved to the east coast and found out there is no shooting before noon.

September 1 is my favorite day of the year, I call it New Years Day. Started out just picking them up for my dad as a little kid and eventually graduated to a single shot and so on. I love those dodgy little birds.
