    Couldn’t have asked for a better time with my sons. We picked a public field at a halfway point between Charleston and Chapin. Tons of laughs, lots of shooting and and plenty of misses.

    It seems like yesterday the oldest had his Red Ryder BB gun and the youngest was retrieving my birds. I am jealous of y’all with young kids, soak up each minute you can with them, you’ll blink and they’ll be grown adults.

    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    Hunted the same public field I have for years. Usually do decent, was extremely slow this year. I believe I saw only 13 birds killed on the sign out sheet.

    After our pre-hunt feast we went onto my field near Williston. Instead of cloudy it was sunny and hot. We brought 55 to the table at sundown. We again feasted on left overs. All week lots birds in field. Yet Saturday it was kinda slow.

    Interesting. I’ve seen a lot of people asking how to retrofit one of these to one of the Loadout buckets, but it fits as is?

    Greenwood field sucked pretty bad, field has more millet than the last few years and was pretty loaded last Monday. They all left before Saturday, only had 10 doves fly in and we killed 6. Hopefully they will show up later, checked 2nd field today with plans to shoot tomorrow, it also had a lot on it earlier in the week and didn’t see but 3 this afternoon, so no hunt tomorrow. Turkeys were enjoying the millet anyway.

    I’ve always heard people say doves can leave….here today gone tomorrow, but I have never experienced it in person until this year. Yesterday, my club was a lot slower than usual but I knew I was hunting my place today and was excited because I’ve been loaded down for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Last Sunday was the last time I watched them and they were piling in from everywhere between 4:30pm and 5:30pm. Today it was a toast town. I bet we only say 40 or fifty birds total and killed 13 between 5 people. The craziest thing I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if some lunar event has happened, but the birds have left!

    We ended up having a good shoot despite the freaking flood. We got 6” of rain Saturday within just a few hours. In between downpours they flew pretty well. I will say it was either the weather causing a mid morning feed of ab 2,000 birds or they left over night but we watched 3-4000 birds Friday evening and we didn’t see close to that Saturday afternoon. I’m guessing a lot of the birds we ran out of the field when we entered had full bellies and didn’t come back. We ended up with 424 birds with 31 guns.

    I can say my son and I had a blast, but I definitely had plenty of opportunity to show him what NOT to do.

    Longest corn harvest I can remember, good news is it rains every day so the spillage is sprouting with the quickness.
