    My youngest son got back for the end of the 2nd week of dove season and had a pretty good time on the 2 acre sunflower patch I plant each year.

    He shot his 15 bird limit in 45 minutes with 26 shots.

    Had 5 on the ground at one point he hadn't picked up yet because they were coming in too fast to go out to retrieve the dead ones.

    He shot the first one as he was setting up his stool in the flower rows, got one true double, and one with only one shell in his O/U because he didn't have time to load the second shell for a bird that was coming in right behind a couple others he shot at twice.

    Fun "day" for him, and some more work for dad to help clean.

    Don't fault him, I was happy to help.

    When my boys were 5 or 6 years old, I used to tell them that "it's in the book of daddies".

    Seemed to work for awhile.

    Not so much later.

    My youngest is almost 40, and all my kids still think it's in the play books...[^][^][^]

    15 Doves and 26 shots-WOW now that's some REALLY good shooting. Fun times. I remember waking up the next day with big time black & blue shoulder. Always had a dog. Very hard to find especially when they're coming in hot and heavy. Had a friend who's mother was cagin. We breasted them out and gave them to her normally on a Sat. and she made a big dinner for us on Sunday. Always with rice and a gravy that was to die for. Miss those days.
