Had a great opener! Best dove hunt I have ever been on. TWRA really manages a few small public fields very well. I shot my first limit ever. My oldest boy also killed 7 himself. Memories we will both ...

A little play on the "Glorious Twelth".

Waiting to get on the dove field now.

Anyone else hunting a dove opener today? Our shooting starts at noon in TN.

We hunted and fished with a guide, T J Laviolette (Troutwest Fly Fishing) who had a German Wirehair Pointer at the time. Google Troutwest Fly Fishing for current information.

Thank you for that in ...

Cool Cool Cool

Trust me, I miss the hydraulic rack and pinion days!

Tony,

Very informative post! It is interesting that there is not a tighter tolerance on the length control of these hulls....

It is hard for me to wrap my head around that much variance between ...
