I receive information on tropical storms from the Coastal Weather Research Center, at the Univ. of S. Alabama. This service is by subscription and is disseminated twice daily when a major storm threatens the southeast. Last night's info shows the storm predicted to make landfall in S. Florida then track the coastline perfectly, moving northerly. It shows Dorian most likely being where you are, Gil, by Thursday. Winds are predicted to be in the 80-90 mph range at the eye.
It's weird to see a predicted path that traces the east coast so perfectly. "Only the Shadow knows"............

Didn't know that Lamont Cranston was also an amateur weatherman-The good Lord willing- I'll be out Sunday AM early- no dove seasons here in MI- but the early 30 day goose season opens on Sept 1st-- 5 day limit- Some DU pals were 'recruited' to hunt an area 9 hole golf course- rural setting, seems to attract the geese- but I gave up group hunting for waterfowl some years ago. One nice thing about hunting solo- when you miss a "sucker shot" you have no witnesses-- Good luck on the "coo-coo mourners" Stan. Wish I could be in Dixie for doves this Fall- RWTF

Latest NHC info shows it tracking well off shore....curving north before it reaches Fla and perhaps coming ashore near Wilmington. That would put it on top of Vic Ventors - again!!. However, read the discussion on this site: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/145744.shtml?cone#contents

You can't lead doves enough- at least from what I have read about dove shooting from Nash Buckingham's stories- wow--what airborne speedsters they must be--

Francis, there are early season doves, and there are late season doves. Early season it's quite possible to miss by over-leading. Late season ? ........... possible, but not probable. Take a bird that can fly 60 mph (I've clocked them with my truck many times) and give him a 25 mph tailwind, at 35 yards, and yeah, you've got a lot of lead. But, it's not just the lead. A dove can shuck and jive with the best of them. Just when you've committed to the trigger, he cuts a maneuver and screws you into the ground. I've tipped my hat to them many times after such a maneuver, that caused me to miss.
Try as I might, the fun is indescribable. Hope you can someday experience it at it's best.
Best, SRH
