Day one of dove hunting

I didn't make it out opening day, but was able to head to the windmill pond in my pasture last night for a chance at bringing in some dove meat for the winter.

Using a 5 gallon bucket for a chair, I settled into my favorite spot by the wind break/shed and waited.

I started out pretty bad... three birds for six shells. Then I quit counting.

I did so much better last year. lol



The darned moon distracted me again.....



and the sunset........




After obtaining my limit of dove, it was time to kick back with a cold drink .......








The sunset and moon rise were so nice. :)







I really enjoyed the evening. :)
