spent the weekend hunting dove at a wma not far from here. showed up at about 5 am on saturday and walked out into the big field, and it looked like a string of christmas lights strung around that field, with all the people set up with their light on to let others know where they are. finaly wedged myself in a spot and sat down and waited. the little field was maby 8-10 acres, with an old fence row with some trees running right down the middle. the whole perimeter of the field was dotted with a shooter roughly every 30 yards, there was another string, same spacing, down the old fence row down the middle of the field, and maby 20 people who couldnt wedge themselves into the outside edges of the field, just unfolded their chairs and sat right in the middle. however the birds were flying very well, everyone shot.... a lot! i shot a box in maby 3 hours, most shot more. but no one shot at a low bird, no one argued over who's bird it was, everyone actually got along very well, lots of jokeing and teasing and "good shot!" yells. it was fun, but not my thing. the rest of the weekend i hunted a field that you had to walk a mile or so to. only 4 other hunters over there. much better.
