    Had a slow one today in Sumter County. Met Professor finally. My buddy the landowner got 7, me and my crew got 1, which Prof's AWS made an excellent retrieve on.

    Had my 11yo nephew with us for his first dove hunt. Knocked featherers off one and watched that joker fly away. Bes that way some time. Called the hunt a few before sunset and decided to hit the pond on the property to make an attempt at a fish before it got dark. Nephew landed one at least 5lbs.

    My daughter didn't know how to act touching the peanut I landed on a beetlespin. Had a great time.

    Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

    Most birds I’ve ever seen this time of year. Only had 6 people and needed 25. 5 acre field turned into 50 acres when corn was cut. Birds coming in , in droves. Easily over a 1000 birds. Hope they stick around for next week and we will have more shooters.

    I'm trying to learn more about what crops best attract doves here in SC. So let me ask the ones who had good shoots and mentioned tons of birds around... What crop is in the fields that are attracting the doves?

    Sunflowers, although most of the birds I cleaned had a fair amount of millet in them.

    Yes sir! The nephew was very respectful. He impressed me with how well he listened, executed instructions and maintained his muzzle control. The lad is a straight killer when it comes to fishing.

    As for my daughter I can't leave her at home when I go hunting or I'd never hear the end of it. She also makes mom's life miserable when I do, like in the instance I leave her at home if the weather simply isn't conducive. She's my little hunting buddy and I love every second of it. She expressed interest in wanting to go on a duck hunt this season.

    What's it take to get invited on these hunts? Thought we were friends

    Haha, I know right. You didn't miss much. Had a couple good hunts there this season, but yesterday was not one of em. But that's huntin.

    Trust me, I'd have invited plenty of folks but it's not my field. And I was taught it's pretty uncouth to invite someone else on a hunt you were invited on.
