“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
I have enough character.

Scouted the public dove field off of Quimps Ridley Rd and looking pretty good. Gonna go ahead and oil my bicycle chain and check the tires.
Are you gonna wear your helmet?

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!

We found a loop-hole in the law. Papa uses one of them motorized wheelchairs and handicap get a 30 min headstart. He uses the cooler, dove stool, and wheelchair to hold 3 additional spots for us when 12 comes. If anyone gets close to us we just yell "bird" randomly and point the gun low on the horizon.

Sure wish they’d open the fields at 1 or 2 instead of noon opening day. Nothing worse than baking in the sun for two hours before birds start flying.
All of the above is why I started my own dove club back in 2013. I have seven members and a waiting list. No one new gets in unless someone "in" gets out. Haven't had any turn over in 4 years. I have 7 blinds( hay bales stacked in circles) in and around the field. Before the hunt we each draw a stand to keep it fair. The field is about 25 acres and I can monitor it from my front porch. I plant corn(we pick it and run it through a chipper on my tailgate), sunflowers/Egyptian wheat/Brown top and regular wheat. I supplemental feed the birds all summer. Saturday as usual we will have a big dinner(put on by my wife) under my carport before drawing stands and going to the field. Most of my guys are local but two are from Greenwood and Spartanburg. We usually shoot every Saturday during the season.
Sadly my skeet field is located next to my dove field so from Aug 1st till after dove season I have to refrain from using it.
Mojo's as mentioned above. I hate them. They seem to turn way more dove than they attract.
