I have been loading 28 guage shells, got 3 2 lb coffee cans ready to go. Shot up my rejects this afternnon, did pretty well. We seem to have a LOT of doves this year, including a few of those funny ones. They, for some reason, seem to stick close to town, so may have to shoot a few in the Co-op yard. We always do a BBQ on the opener, sometimes 30-40 of the local farmers show, drink some beer, tell some lies. My old hunting partner comes over, he will be 82 this year. Gotta savor all the time he has left. Its a good time of the year....Prairie grouse in Nebraska open on the 13th, so am really looking forward to that. Mike you best get Joe Wood to help you sharpen up, so's you dont embarass yourself..
