Tomorrow starts the Dove Hunting season.

Mourning Dove, originally uploaded by Mangesh Bhide – Z612.
 
I’ll be heading to Millard County, UT with my Daughter Camryn.  On this hunt I won’t bring all the dogs.  Just Spooner this time.  I want to get him some experience retrieving birds.  Hopefully he’ll get a few chances.
 
The Upland Bird Season is here!
