Hey all, as in years past, thought I'd start this thread for this years season.

Please stay on topic, be kind, no personal insults or snarky comments. Let's just have fun here and enjoy all the posts.

Wishing you all a very successful and especially safe season!

So, let's see all those great pictures.

Best Regards

Greg

I drew a marginal hunt spot on opening day, Saturday, and only downed 12. On Monday I secured a more successful spot and was able to go down 11 in the morning hunt only. I alternated between the boss 12 bore side-by-side and OU. Let’s see some more dove hunt pictures!

I can't ID the cigar, a Cohiba perhaps? But if I could have one and only side-by-side sidelock doublegun, it would be your Boss as shown. "Thous shall not covet" rings true, My 1912 mfg. L.C. Smith 4E is about as close "bit no cigar" to the Boss, so I can settle with the "Elsie"-only half-way to your success, we don't have a legal dove season here- in the early Canada goose season, with field shell decoys in cut winter wheat fields near farm ponds, so far I have not pulled in any Canadas to date, but boy howdy, doves and barn pigeons. I love to shoot the legal year around pigeons, but NOT with steel or bismuth loads. RWTF

A great experience with my lovely W&E 28 ga, B&P fibre wad shells and wood pigeons. 7 shells for three birds. Enough birds for cooking them. Sorry, I had problems with the first picture and deleted the first post.

The wine is a great Spanish Mauro. Thanks!


28 ga, hammerguns and all shotguns and rifles made by hands.

Nice work campero! Monday’s results below with the o/u. It is choked Mod/XF which actually worked out OK as most of my shots were long.

Hey all, today was NoDak's Grouse and Hun opener. It was a nice day weather wise, a bit of a wind, but not too terrible. My son Jim and I went to a friends ranch where we start out the season every year. It was a good opener. It took me a couple hours to limit. Jim was just shy of his by one. We each got a double out of a covey rise. I got a single prior to that. Raina (who's going to be 10 this year) did a good job as usual. We got into birds right off the bat, but for some reason they were spooky and wouldn't hold point. Out of the 5 we got only one was an older bird, the rest were young ones. A good sign. Always a great day when I'm out with my boy'. They are my best hunting partners, bar none.

I used my 16b John Wilkes today. This is my opening day gun for grouse

We'll see what tomorrow brings!
