Reloaded 4 boxes today, have 8 total ready for the first few days. Need to go to the reloading store and get some more powder though, didn't realize I was that low.

Can't wait for season opener. Looks like we are going to have some nice weather. Going to start laying out the gear in the morning. Below is what I plan on taking.

Beretta a400 xtreme (mod choke)
5 boxes of 7.5 Rio's Hunting loads
folding chair
2 glow sticks so I can see where I'm going
Bug spray
hand sanitizer
gloves
Cooler filled with ice to be left in truck
Camo backpack
3 bottles of water
1 can of Redbull
Grocery store sub to be picked up in morning for cheap (last nights left overs).
Knife
Mojo Dove

Got a bit of a drive this year so will get gas the night before. Don't think I'm missing anything.

Good luck to everyone and be safe.

Got my limit on Sunday. Anyone else limit out. Lots of local birds this year. Should be a good season especially when the cold front comes in around late Sept or Oct. Can't wait to hammer some of those Michigan birds they save for us each season. Will be grilling doves this weekend for game time.

Take care and be safe while afield.

Haven't had a chance to go. Had a bad reaction to some medication and surgery on Tuesday. Have to go back to the doctor in the morning about the reaction...

My son and I have been every evening, not much tastes better than fresh dove. He informed me this morning he needs more shells.............

Nice... Buy that boy more shells.

What part of WV you from. We have family property in Mingo county. Thinking about hitting up some grouse this year, but I hate climbing those damn hills.

I was born in Huntington, raised in Parkersburg, but now live in Columbus

I've never been dove hunting but it looks like telephone and electric lines would be a good place to start.

Really wouldn't be a Columbus if it wasn't for WV. Lots of people in C-bus have roots from WV, KY and VA. Crazy.

I got a buddy I wouldn't put it past him to shoot a bird off a line. They do seem to perch themselves on those lines.
