Well, my reloading is almost finished, the guns are ready, the dog is rounding into shape, and my grocery shopping for the trip is almost done -- two weeks from today I'll finally be in the field shooting at live birds again. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I think the off-season is too long.

I don't know how many times in the last month I could have been ticketed for "distracted driving" watching the dove fly...

I've been waiting all year!! last year I helped a dairy farmer friend of mine cut silage and got invited to his opening day hunt. It was the first real shoot I'd been to and had a blast. I was worried when I heard he wasn't going to have a hunt this year, but my father informed me last week that Ricky had mown some millet and had a peanut field ready to shoot. I had to use a borrowed 12 ga last year but recently went shopping for my own gun for this season. While I've always wanted a 16 ga what I was looking for that day was a 12 ga sxs, forgive me. what I found was a 16 ga 1100. since then have been surfin the net for info and just today found this site and joined. have thought about a reloading press seems like ya'll are a bunch of kind helpful good 'ol boys who dont mind helpin out a new 16 ga'er.

Welcome to the fold, Jesse. You done good finding that 16 ga 1100. And this is a great site for all kinds of info. If you don't find what you need, just ask.


And keep your eyes peeled for that Ford fella!

10 days. The cabin fever is almost over. All I need to do is walk out the back and load as I go over the cattle guard then "it on" ...

Oh but we are still in the 100's here in Texas.

Our dove season here in Florida does not open until the first Saturday of October, so we have over a month to wait. My Lab and the 16's are ready to go.
You boys up north just keep driving them down here. We are waiting for them.
