There's a cutover cornfield just across the branch from the house, and some doves have been coming into it. Last segment of dove season opened today, and several of the neighbors came over to shoot. I decided to get fancy and got out my uncle's 28 gauge Remington 11-48. I haven't shot that little gun in 6 or 7 years, but I didn't really expect a lot of birds anyway, so I took it.

First flight that came in, I swung on a bird and dumped it, dead in the air. Oh Boy - I'm gonna be hot stuff today!

You guessed it - birds came in all afternoon and all I shot from then on was holes in the air.
