I wish I had a place to hunt them. They are a lot of fun. Every time I find a spot... they turn it into a housing addition.

Iowa DNR, does not allow us to hunt songbirds.
Everytime they propose a dove season the birdlovers get an injuction to stop it.

Jim, I thought New York was the only state like that! We get the same thing- the birders don't want a dove season.

285,000,000 doves in any given year. 85% mortality rate. Humans account only for about 3 million of them.
They reproduce 7 GENERATIONS in a single breeding season.
HOLY CRAP!!

Yup, a pair of doves will produce a batch every 21 days. I had a pair nest in a birdfeeder right behind my rear window one year. They kicked out 7 batches.

I was with one of dad's hillbilly friends the last week of august squirrel hunting. I bet that guy fired 30 rounds at squirrels that morning. Come to find out he had a mess of doves. I'm like "what are you doing? We can't drive through this place after all of that."  The guy does whatever he pleases since he normally hunts his own land and didn't know there was such thing as dove season and didn't know you had to have a federal stamp  He's also the guy that bow hunts with no shirt and blue biboverals so nothing suprises me  |

They wear those things all the time. I can't stand em but the girls all have a pair. I will admit they are silent shoes in the woods. UNtil you get near a honey locust tree with all the thorns on the ground. |

Hs wife is hot. I saw her run out for the newspaper in nothing but her undies and those pink crocs. I was not looking at the crocs. She did not know I was waiting for her hubby in the driveway while he was in the shower. Did not seem to bother her as she did not cover up at all and waved to me. I also know why they call a g=string underwear butt floss now. I wonder why he was running late that morning? ? You think they are weird I had to buy my oldest a pait of ugg's www.uggaustralia.com/ProductDetails.aspx?gID=w&productID=5815&model=Classic%20TallHow on a hunting firearms sight on dove hnting did I get thread jacked into women's shoes anyway. |
