I'm curious how your opening day was. Mine was a bust. One of the first times I have ever been skunked, got nary a shot. I had to postpone going to my favorite spot due to the extreme heat in NW Kansas. Went to an old favorite, though not always productive, spot in NE Kansas. Something has happened to the doves in NE Kansas and I am wondering if any one out there has any info to share. Out west I find them by the 100s, but the population around where I live seems to have dropped dramatically. Could they have migrated early??
