Around noon yesterday I realized I had no plans over the weekend and decided to head to the cat ranch to try and shoot dove and just screw around.

I've never hunted dove before so I just kind of walked around the windbreaks and blasted them as they flew out of trees. Got 6 this morning and will probably kill some more after the katz game.

Also I assume shooting them when they are sitting on power lines is a no no? I haven't done it because I don't want one of the pellets to go through a power line and cause an outage or something.

If you can find any water or a patch of wild sunflowers you can post up on a five gallon bucket and blast them as they fly in and out. The ones in the trees might be Euarasians versus the migratory mourning doves . Make sure you have a HIP stamp.

Oh I'm not saying we didn't drive up and down dirt roads after football practice in high school doing so.

I was planning on checking out the "Creek" in the pasture this evening so if there is any water I'll hang out for a bit and see if any birds come in. Worst case scenario I'll hang out at the stock tanks by the windmill assuming it's not packed full of cows.

I was really tempted to blast some but it's the power lines that feed the cat ranch and I don't want any of that smoke if I somehow cut our power off.

My 1990 Dakota lost a back window when a buddy's arm went through it when he was in bed and  I slammed in the brakes when I spotted some power line doves.

As I was reading that story I got the mental image of it happening.

If you can get your cat ranchers to plant an acre or two of sunflowers next year and then mow it down in mid august you would be in dove heaven the first few weeks of September next year.

Man, just over 2 weeks away from opening weekend of pheasant season and I'm jones'n for some whirly birds. Anyone planning on killing any animals this fall?

I'm planning on heading out to the cat ranch in NWKS for a 3 day weekend of blood lust. Will hunt the CRP on the cat ranch and I've also spent way too much time staring at the WIHA map scoping out the public spots around the cat ranch.

Maybe train a dog to sniff out murder hornets and start your own Murder Hornet Murdering company?

Went out pheasant hunting last weekend but didn't kill any  :frown:.

I had 11 pheasant flush within 10 yards of me but 10 of those were hens. The only rooster that flushed in range was right next to the farmhouse. I was walking back to the house after hunting and not paying attention then Milo flushed it up right next to the woodpile. It took off vertically about 20ft in the air to clear the tree's in the windbreak (which was extremely impressive) but my only shot at it had the house in the background  :frown: :frown:.

Guess that's why they call it HUNTING and not KILLING

Sounds like milo is turning into a good little bird dog.   My lab is going to get her first pheasant hunt in this weekend in Barton County, will be interesting to see how she does.

Milo still doesn't point and I doubt she ever will but she is serviceable as a flusher and gives it 100% most of the time. Are you going with a large group this weekend or just a couple of people? I watched a group of 10+ hunters pushing a field and then boom all the birds fly up, looked like a good time.

Best of luck with weekend with pup.

5 guys in the group, hunting some private land for wild birds Saturday and then a planted bird hunt on Sunday. We have two flushing dogs so probably will just do it that way but the walking with the blocker at the end is a good strategy too.
