Dove Season Opening Day

Lately the dove have not been moving, usually opening week is the best around where I live, because there's all the dove hunters stirring them up but after that it kinda dies off
 
We had a good opening day.

Several of us gather around the wheat field each year.

My gear. I shot the NEF single 12 this year, and bagged nine birds.

We always gather after the hunt and have a mass bird cleaning. This was the pile after everyone threw in their birds.

Me being the guy with the big knife, my job is to remove the wings and head.
