Hello Stan.
I thought about you this morning while scouting along the California Aqueduct in the Antelope Valley in SoCal.
While not quite Yuma, there were plenty of opportunity to bag some dove.
The most amazing thing were the coveys of Quail (big coveys of Quail) that we jumped.
Here was the last of about 2 dozen that stuck around while I fumbled my phone to snap an image.
Biggest covey maybe 4 dozen.

Opening day Dove will be great. Opening day Quail should be spectacular.
I’ll be shooting a little Browning 28 gauge.
Bismuth or steel as lead is no longer allowed on public land.
