Good luck to everyone have safe opening day. It looks like my dove opener might be little wet in morning here in southern Utah
Dove Open
- Thread starter utahduckhunter
- Start date
20 mph winds. I hate the wind. I really hate the wind. Since I won't be out there, it really doesn't mean jack to me.
Richard,
Good luck over there...I will be in your neck of the woods Sunday...How about an afternoon shoot?

Yeah, the strong winds brought them down where we could shoot them.

I'm just armchair dove hunting this year, and not happy about it. Reports from Az. just across the river are real good, limits all around. It looks like they are done for the day in any event, heavy rain, lightning, 25 mph winds.

IV was a little humid and sunrise was slow but shortly after they got going. And nice euro shoot aftrr the early mornings
I was north of Yuma but the action was south of us, non stop until 0800. Got drenched by a 15 min storm at 0300. Got half a limit due to lousy shooting. Traffic was great coming home, a great morning.
I saw one..tried to pack into where I thought he may be roosted for the day..but no dice ..he eluded me as the dove often do..so.. tommorow is another day..
As Hatch would say that 3rd one from the end ......is a big bastard, damn trophy for sure.
Good on you for saving those gizzards and hearts, excellent deep fried, my wife always says "don't bother coming home if you don't have the gizzards and hearts"
OHELLYES Exactly how it should be done, Dove popes nose is the best part, heart, liver and gizzard a real close second. Of Course the cool kids just Brest them out a toss and the best parts. poppers my ass!!!
I had my limit by 7:30 in the central valley.
Walking the dog in the afternoon back at home and she brings me a bonus dove somehow. I think it got clipped by a car, however it happened I look down and she has another dove.

One year while dove hunting with my GSP, I had put a dove down and he went to retrieve it, well he was gone longer than I thought he should have been, so I start to give him return whistles, which took several tries. Finally he did come back, he had three dove in his mouth. All I could say was, good boy.
it was a slow pick but I got 30 by 8:30 in the IV. I know some guys still down there and there was flash flooding yesterday afternoon.
