Opening Day Dove Hunt Photo Essay

[rsimms]

If my math is correct, yesterday was my 45th opening day hunt (or near-opening day) since I went on my very first dove hunt. It sort of gets in your blood.

However, sitting in the field yesterday with three good friends, I realized that dove hunting is no longer a competition to see who can kill the most birds with the fewest shots (as it was in my youthful, blood-thirsty days). Now it's all about the company and the joy of the hunt. The kills come second... far second.

Here's a little photo essay with pretty cool photos and video. http://bit.ly/1utZsjC

Hey Mark... which one were you? Were you one of the guys under the locust tree right beside the pond?

It always drives me crazy when I cross paths with Forum friends and didn't even know it (at the time).

Small world isn't it...
