I haven't seen a lot of doves this year but have seen lots of quail in the coast range. Had a target lying on the ground on a hill and was shooting across to it and a quail with 2 chicks walked across it.Got the fridge in the RV cooling down and everything except guns and food packed. Heading out a day early as I'm taking the 5 month old pup out so I can shoot some doves for him.
Reports I'm getting is the deer did not do well this winter in the Columbia Basin and populations are down. Not looking good for birds this year either. Then again, never shot anything sitting on the couch at home.
