Killed 11 shoulda done better, the past 3 years this is the worst I have ever seen this field, what about everyone else? We started about 1-130 7 guys killed 44, last year there was a couple more shooters and we killed 123, it was 2nd weekend though can anyone remember if there was a cold front after the opener last year, surely a week dont make that much difference?

11 is a good day! If I remember correctly the weather was normal here last year and we had a good hunt.You are a bit north of us and it seems a cool front passed thru right after the opener.

Killed 4 and tag teamed one with my nephew. Worst day flying I've seen in quite some time. I only shot 16 shells and a few probably were too far but with so little going on I let 'em fly.

I got my limit on one of the Loudon county TWRA fields. Really started flying good right as I was finishing up. I will be back on Monday in the AM.

For my first experience on a dove hunt Id say it was AWESOME!....on top of that it was a Region I public field. 4:30 seemed to be a light switch was turned on
