Dove shoots around Bradley County

[CULLBUCK 2]

Just wondering if anyone has heard of some goods dove feilds close to Bradley Co. for the upcoming season? I know its a little early just trying to get ahead of the game. We hunted AEDC last year but gas was a little cheaper then . If you know of any let me know id sure appreciate it.

Ask some of the farmers on Redhill rd. in s.e. Bradley. I haven't shot doves in years but there used to be several fields you could hunt in that area (for a small fee).

We hunted AEDC last year also,,,what part of the field were U on???,,,probably going back this year if they have a shoot,,,not many good fields in Bradley that are just open or even to pay to get on,,,but I would pay to get on a good field.

Catchdog , i hate asking people to hunt. I have friends that dont mind and seem to just fall in some places ....I dont mind paying to get on a good field , i would rather do that . I guess i just dont want to feel like im mooching. Thanks for the info

Hook , we hunted on the opposite end of the field where everyone parked.I hate that marvin weaver up in polk co. dont have shoots anymore , i miss those kinda hunts..

 

[Hook1]

we were on that end of the field also,,,actually at the very end field,,,ya know a boy by the name of Hysinger???,,,I know there were some others on that end from Cleveland besides us.

hook , ya i know todd heck he was the only one on that end that done any shooting ... LOL!

 

[Hook1]

Naw,,,I was the other one doing all the shootin :),,,actually I had 1 bird more than him,,,he had 12 I had 13,,,that was the first time I got to shot with Todd,,,he made a commit,,,I'll let ya'll shot at them, then I'll kill'em,,,then I pulled a double on him,,,he ate his words ;),,,not taking anything away from him, he's a good shot,,,they've got some fields in Loudon already posted on TWRA website think were going to look at them this year before we decide where we go,,,supposed to be decent fields,,,I would like to find a better field closer to home.

 

[CULLBUCK 2]

Let me know when you guys decide where your gonna be. Il just leave my gun at home and go get birds for yall as long as i get to take two or three home lol

 

[Hook1]

Do ya know Todds buddy Mike???,,,well I don't if ya read my post above AEDC will have no dove fields this year,,,I have a field maybe in south Bradley but it is pot luck there,,,one year it will have birds and the next 5 it will not,,,the fields in Loudon are the same fields they have year after year and some are supposed to be good,,,I just wanna find a field that has consistent shooting close to home,,,I get to go on some private shoots but they are 3+ hrs away,,,were going to do some hard scouting this year,,,I'm not going to sit on a dead field all day long.
