There is absolutely no feeling that compares to the first few minutes of dove season. First the sound of gunfire in the distance, then seeing the first birds crossing the horizon, and finally pulling the trigger on the first birds heading into gun range. It never fails to live up to expectations. And so it was yesterday. We went into an area that gets a lot of pressure on opening day and found a little corner to ourselves. It didn't take long for the first bird to fall and after a great mark and find, we had the first dove in the bag. Now, while over the next couple of weeks we will hopefully get out some more and shoot a lot of doves, and have an absolute spiritual blast, it will never quite feel the way it does that first ten minutes.
