| I'll be in the stand at 0615. Supposed to only hit a high of 80 which means I'll try to stay out all day except for a lunch break. Looking forward to a great season! Good luck everyone! |

I hope everyone bow hunts tomorrow. I want the Doves all to myself. :) This..... Heading down to Leesburg with a friend tomorrow to shoot birds. I have killed so many deer in my life I have a hard time getting fired up anymore. I much prefer beef over venison these days so I trophy hunt only. I have not killed a deer in 5 years but I usually see 75-100 deer from the stand each year. It's also hot as hell and mostly miserable on a deer stand during bow season this far below the gnat line. td |

Doves can be a real challenge to shoot, and they're easy to clean. Loads of fun for the whole family. Wish I had a place to go around here in Savannah like I used to when I was a kid in CA. Hunting doves at my uncles farm in Indio, CA (just south of Palm Springs) was fun too.
Best of luck, and have fun y'all! |
| Just to make everyone feel a little better, I can't do either... I have two pins in one of my fingers, so I can't shoot a shotgun or draw a bow for three more weeks! So, whether you are shooting dove or chasing deer - have fun, be safe, and think of me when you pull the trigger. :-) |

Won't make the opener today. I hope to get out next weekend maybe.
I'm just not comfortable hunting with a bow I've only had for two days and haven't had a chance to wring out. Not to mention the draw weight is a little heavier than I've ever shot (70 lbs, my previous compound maxed out at 60) and I'm having a little trouble with my shoulder during draw (old age). Need to work with it for a week or so before I take aim on an animal. It's a really nice used bow, Parker Trailblazer XP, but it was set up for someone else. I need to see how well it fits me and where it hits at various ranges . . .
