It's getting close to kick off day here in South Dakota. The bird numbers are crazy good this year so I'm once again looking forward to a good season. Our season will open on Sunday September 1st. I plan on being out both Sunday and Monday. I dug my gear out and did a quick inventory of my dove stuff. We have a pretty good spread for the number of guys that hunt with us. My personal dove arsenal consists of 10 full body decoys, 2 spinning wing decoys, 1 motorized DIY dove vortex that uses two of the wind powered MOJO decoys and a couple dozen silhouette decoys. We hunt a small knob near one of the many creeks that cross the South Dakota prairies. Last year we shot over 160 birds from that little hill in the first few days of season. Some of the finest eating game birds available in South Dakota! Nothing like bacon wrapped dove breast with a sliver of jalapeno hot off the grill!! The viper Tristar in 28ga is going to be my primary, but I'll likely have to try out the new Pointer Acrius 28ga that I just picked up for slinging TSS/Bismuth at pheasants this fall.
