Winter Dove limit taken Christmas Eve morning with the same gun....I had it out and decided to give it a try...
Our Winter doves usually will try your skill set with a well choked 12 bore, however I shot the 20 better than I expected, but was forced to pass up numerous chances I would have tried with a Big gun...

Fortunately the birds cooperated and gave me enough reasonable shots to fill my game strap....
This weather has played Havoc with our Dec. Dove days.... Only three left and the forecast looks much more favorable....

I intend to give the Mourners a run in the morning, then roll the dogs out in the afternoon to take full advantage of this most bountiful of Quail Seasons since 1987....

I am truly " living the life" this season.....and Trust me, I know how Fortunate I am........
