3 hunters took 30 birds in the morning hunt with plenty of misses. it was my daughters first dove hunt and she hit a double banded bird worth $100 according to the golden band. 2 of the birds I shot where banded as well but not golden bands. Numbers seem a little low this year but i have noticed that sometimes the opener is lighter than the next couple of weeks.

What county were you hunting in?
Well, I got 1 dove last night and 0 tonight. Figured I would go check my turkey spot, since it's close to my dove spot and season is open, and got 2 turkeys!
PLEASE post a pic of these bands. Also have her(your daughter) report them and she'll receive a USGS certifcate telling where that bird or (s) where originally banded. I harvested one back in 2004 and it came all the way from the EAST COAST!!!
