Tominator Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I was spraying roundup around the trees today and bumped a mother mourning dove off her nest. She faked like she was injured all the way across my neighbor's field. Weird. I've seen killdeer do that, but never a dove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaTrophyHunter Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Re: Ever See This? i've never seen that before either but the killdeers do it all the time. when i was younger I would shoot at them and think I wounded them but they would fly when you close.
