Dove Season!!
Dove season has been here for about three weeks now. I went out just today with my grandpa and uncle. We had no luck though. They were just not flying on a count of the rain we had last night. My neighbor said they won't eat wet corn because it will just bloat their stomachs. Hmm. never knew that. Well i have already shot two this year anyway. Which is more than last year, and the year before, and the year before. haha. The one i shot wasnt even flying. It flew into the cherry tree in the yard after we had just got back from hunting. well it was a race to see who could get the gun loaded faster. And boom goes the dynamite it was me. it was a small one though. For those who do not know, the only thing you take from a dove is the breast. The average size is about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide. Therefore they do not make a very good meal unless you shoot a lot of them. Doves fly very fast too. They are one of the fastest birds in the state of Illinois. So that makes them even more of a challenge to take on. I just love hunting in general. Well if you have any questions please feel free to comment my posts..

I wouldn’t feel so bad about not getting many this year. My boyfriend and a buddy of his went opening day; my stepdad and a friend of his also went out opening day. They ended running into each other in the parking lot at Randolph County Lake, so they decided to go together. Well, my stepdad and his friend ended up leaving a couple hours into their hunt because they weren’t many out; they got lucky and ended up with a couple of them though. But Aaron and his friend stayed out there until it was time to leave. Between both of them, they only bagged eleven..
