It is amazing how the September 1st dove always seem to act like October 30th dove.Spent some time this afternoon looking for birds. Cut corn, cut milo, wheat stubble, water. Saw 5 birds in about 20 miles worth of looking.

You are up in my old college days stomping grounds. I made friends with the farmers and ranchers up there when I worked for the Alva Sale Barn and Tri K Equipment. I had multiple options during bird season.I started out on the tractor at daylight by the Salt Fork, drove to Alva around noon for corn and groceries, to Cherokee to check the mail on the way back to the house, a 20 mile round trip to fill feeders, and a 10 mile Ranger ride this evening with the dogs, and I‘ve seen 5 doves total today (2 of those are yard doves). There’s none on or around the feedlot by my house, and I didn’t see any around the refuge.
And six boxes of shells...Weird year. I don’t think I’ve missed an opening day/weekend in 30 years. Going up to the lease because I have a cam showing dead batteries. I’ll fix that and take an 1100 28g but I don’t have high hopes.
I’ve had only one ‘one box limit’. I’m pretty darn sure it wont be with a 28!And six boxes of shells...
