The opener of dove season has always been a special time for me. When I think back over the past many ‘openers’ I have enjoyed in dove fields from North Dakota to Mexico, my mind is flooded with fond memories of some barrel burning shoots and some hunts where I didn’t fire a shot but it’s the family and friends I spend time with that was really important.

I grew up hunting small game in northeast Texas but we never hunted dove, I was amazed at the number of dove that were buzzing that field and to the best of my recollection, I managed to down a few birds, probably easy ‘going away’ shots. I also remember that meal of grilled dove breast wrapped in bacon and camp beans cooked under a live oak tree on the field’s edge.
