Should go but work stress has me burnt out.
So not sure yet.

I've got the day blocked off, and will probably go.  But I'm not as interested as in previous years.  Not sure why.  I plan on going grouse/squirrel hunting this weekend, so maybe that's why I'm not that excited about dove.  If I don't go, it will be the first time in 20 years.

I used to have a thriving Eurasian Collared Dove population in my backyard.  Used to.

Put plenty of bird seed out everyday, and they keep a coming.  A couple of the dove decoys help a lot, also.  Year round snacks if you do it right.

I figured I wouldn't be able to stay out this year.  Got access to a client's property down by Bernardo.  So I guess I'm going.

As stated in another thread.  We're flooded here in SE NM, will probably wait a few days to hunt.   But it's all private so the windmills should be awesome!

Kinda like a tractor supply but smaller and with guns and ammo.

Im in SE NM.  The grounds way too wet to hunt with much success.   Not CNN style flooding.  Ranchlands, roads and low spots are all now ponds.   My drive way, which needs to be graded is under 5" of water still.

Got it.
My boys are coming home to go hunting tomorrow but I expect it will be a muddy mess.

I ended up shooting so much sporting clays and wobble trap that I didn't even stay to shoot dove.  I might go next weekend.  Went grouse hunting yesterday.  Not a single bird.

I have decided I need a new shotgun...
My boys ran off with my favorites and I can't seem to hit anything anymore with what they left me.
Suggestions for NM dove?

I switch between 2 depending on the area I am hunting.
Less chance of damaging my gun, I use a browning cynergy. Otherwise it's a beretta al391 urika.
When I'm feeling nostalgic, I will use my win 1300. I've hunted with that gun for about 25 years.

That beretta has been a great shotgun. I got it in a trade and probably wouldn't have been interested otherwise. The weight is perfect for upland. It swings very nicely and I think it fires laser guided rounds or something.  I don't miss very often with it. I shot a limit of pheasants (4) in Nebraska last year in about  5 minutes into that day's hunt.  4 shots, 4 kills.

I have a 390 and like it but I have messed up my shoulder working and while it doesn't hurt nothing seems to point at the birds when I throw it up!
Getting old sux.
I am thinking of getting something super light to try and see if it helps.

Yes! I hadn't thought to play with them.

ETA But I hate to mess with them as I am hoping this problem resolves itself so a more shotguns to chose from might be a better answer.
