As always, that little cold front that came through seems to have pushed most of the dove out already. I was seeing decent numbers on my long drive to work each day, but over the last week haven't seen any.

Give that area a try behind the Silo's just east of town, a few Wheat fields in the area and lots of olive tree's for the evening roost....

Im not willing to drive very far around here to shoot at some air rats. I enjoy hunting and eating them, but there isn't enough around here to make it worth while.
