WIth a few minutes to call my own I just went west to my stomping grounds to shake off the cobwebs and do some dove shooting. I was considering bringing my bird browning butthe underlying purpose to this blam was to just get reaquainted with the blamerator as I may do a break away quick blam this weekend...
I pulled over on the axle eating road and dropped an improved choke into the old gal. That coupled with the short barrel is only good to thirty yards but I had other chokes with me. I set up across from an orange grove and it wasn't long before three came long.
Blam! Blam! Blam! The choke and 7 1/2 shot were comming up short another double came even longer but down wind and again Blam! Blam! Blam!
I decided to take a couple minutes to dig out and change chokes. I looked up to see one of my game warden buddies pull up.
"What ya doin Paul..."
"Blamin..."![]()
"Not target shooting are ya?"
"Nope... Hopin for some birds..."
"Quail? They've been at the other end..."
I was scratching my head what was up with the questions. This guy knows I shoot doves from that area... I wondered what was up...![]()
I glanced over at my rule set and saw the answer... Theres a week off between set two and set threee for doves...I'm so used to deer hunting in Jersey this week of time each year, I didn't realize the closed week was THIS WEEK!![]()
Think quick Deep... "I was hoping there were some (quail) up along this edge up here. I started walking and kicked two woodcock (IN season). I guess I'll go try the other end..."
"See you around..."
I got back in the car embarrassed to tears and feeling lucky that I didn't have any doves on me. I felt bad about lying to him but it was CYA mode...
So I guess no more practice for me this week...![]()
