[QUOTE="Turkeytider, post: 2900241, member: 126192"] I`m 75 and remember my very first dove. Out walking with my Dad on my grandfather`s farm. Had to have been 9 or 10 with my first gun, a Stevens 311 double, Mod/Full, 16 gauge. Can remember it like yesterday. I just swung and shot at a flock flying by. One of them just sort of peeled off and headed down. Ended up swimming in a small branch, my Daddy sort of swinging from small tree to small bush in pursuit. Thinking back, I don`t think that there was any way he was going to let that dove get away, even if he had to get in the water to catch it! Took it home, he showed me how to dress it, and Mama cooked it. My first lesson in, " You shoot it, you clean it. " Lord, I miss my father even now. [/QUOTE]
