Tominator Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 my wife took the kids shopping yesterday, so i got to sit and walk out back with no guilt complex. i sat for doves first, and got 5. midway through the dove hunt i caught movement on my right. it was a squirrel sneaking around my house. i don't like squirrel, but i have a buddy at work that does, so i added him to the game bag. (that was pretty unusual, as my property doesn't have a whole lot of trees. i guess he was rummaging around for some food) later i decided to take a walk and try my luck for a bunny. the winter storm we got last wednesday and thursday socked our area with 1/2" of ice, so sneaking up on bunnies has been difficult lately. i struck out on bunnies, but managed to flush 7 pheasants. unfortunately, i didn't get any shots as all the birds flushed well out of range. they're pretty wary this time of year. i sat and walked outside for over 4 hours in 20 degree temps, froze my hands and face off, and had a blast.

JimT Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Re: Mixed Bag-O-Game Sounds like a great four hours to me. Glad you had fun. I have never ate a dove. How are they? they are illegal here to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Re: Mixed Bag-O-Game Sounds like a blast. I've been out the last two days. I've seen 2 squirrels and threw some lead at a handful of RPG's (aka grouse), no bunnies. Good to be out there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW--those rabbits gave me a case of poison ivy right between my fingers on both hands, and a little patch under my left eye. I distinctly remember picking both rabbits up by the legs in between my fingers. It's the only thing I can think of why I got another case of poison ivy where I did.
