Yes, I knew it would be slow, but I couldn't make the drive to Imperial Valley. Last year, the opener was pretty bad for me at SJ, but I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Drove to the dog training area on Saturday, and I set up by the parking lot next to a small patch of wheat. I set up two Mojo doves and waited and waited. From 6:30 to about 10:00, I waited and repositioned twice. Failed two shoot at two birds at about an hour apart of each other. When the sun started getting warm I decided to go for a walk next to the tree line by the San Jacinto river to bump birds. Scared two that we're two quick for me to swing on and shot at one that was lucky I'm a bad shot. I called it a day around 12pm and went for a short drive by Mystic Lake. Not a single hunter back there at that time, just a lone coyote. Anyways, moral of the story is San Jacinto is super slow, but it beats staying home. Enjoy the pics.
