Like I said, take me, I hunt it regularly and we do good. I know which blinds shoot well. This last Saturday and it was bluebird @Colbyaa Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What ressie # you have? I moved back up north and hunt it regularly. Just let me know if you need someone to go with Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keep it simple. 3-4 stakes for support. Zip tie a camo-dyed burlap or your camo netting of choice to it. Set it up against some natural cover and then brush it up with the same stuff to hide it better. Done! 10 minute setup or less and 5 minute take down. You can configure it into whichever...

Hunted NW of Imperial on the 1st and 2nd with the girlfriend. We shot 21 on the opener and 8 more on the morning of the 2nd. Tons of pressure in the area but we skirted off to the side a few fields over and had it to ourselves and had consistent shooting. Had a short day at work on Tuesday and...

You won’t miss anything. Trust me.

Hunted the blind to the west of that blind back in Nov with a #14. We had the same thing happen. Not the usual flight in that area from what I saw when I was there. Down south just a hair seemed to be a bit more active.

Sounds like the typical red tape scenario.

So I’ve never asked Tom or anyone there why they don’t flood the lake or keep it flooded. They just want it to be natural? Funding? Issues with the local gov.? It would only make sense to have it flooded if it could be a benefit to migrating waterfowl since SJ doesn’t really have a closed zone...

They could be right, honestly. If Mystic was full, some birds may opt to not head to Lake Perris after the day break show. Or it could be more possible for them to bounce between LP and Mystic during different times of the day. I guess we'll never know until Mystic has water again. I've been in...

Well, it never gets super cold but when it does reach lower temps, the 30s, I see more bird movement later in the day in SoCal. Most of the birds that we shoot year around are fair weather birds and don’t like the cold so temps in the 30s and 40s will make them move more. We are barely reaching...

It’s not cold enough for good afternoon shoots this year. It’s definitely been colder in the past few years. There no good reason for them to not wait till after dark to search for food.

Damn! Heavy straps! Is that club pumping fresh water?

Never hunted Kern. Looked at the averages for it for last week. Pretty decent for what CA is shooting right now. Over a 2 bird average with Spoonicus and Gads taking the top two spots. Great chili material to me. Like Ilovesprig mentioned about the free roam being good. #1 tip if you're going...

Question for you then.... do you prefer to hunt the roost or the feed area? I have both types of spots scouted out, but see more in the feed area. Just curious.

Another question, I noticed a lot of the doves are sitting in the fields in the vegetation so it’s hard to hunt them like that. Are you guys walking the fields or just sitting in a spot pass shooting?

Well, made it out to the valley at 6 AM just in time to get to a spot I scouted out the last two weeks after duck hunting and poof! Field turned to dirt! No doves in sight. After that was a bust I had to run and gun to try to find a spot that maybe had potential. Ended up being a bust. Shot two...

Hey guys, Question for y’all. What types of habitat or areas do you see most of the doves you shoot in the IV? I’m used to hunting safflower, sunflower fields, orchards, and dry creek beds in northern CA. The amount of lettuce and what seems to be just basic hay(?) fields in the IV are the most...

@ilovesprig, You'll have to post a pic of the finished product once you receive it. I was going to ask, which taxidermist do you use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice! Still searching for my first BW. I recognize your face from Wister. Briefly talked to you last Wednesday in the ress line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
