Dove Opener

[79Challenger]

Sept. 1. Anybody going out? Where?

[Phat Matt]

Yep. :)

[RitcheyRch]

All the hotels booked solid in Blythe.

[CBadDad]

I haven't been in years. Dad and I used to go every year on the CRIT land.
Good times, get up early to hunt and spend the rest of the day hanging out at Parker.
I've done that for many years. It's gonna be crazy with the opener being on the Friday before Labor Day. This year our pheasant guide is coming from South Dakota with his GF. Ought to be good times!

[UpRiver]

Loaded some .410 shells this past weekend and ready to go. For the first time in 15 years I'm not going to Blythe for the opener, it has gotten way too crazy for me. I have a spot up river near Needles I'm gonna try this year.

How do I get a hunting license? Never had one... do I have to take a hunters safety course or equivalent? Or can I just get a license w/o one?

I got more birds than you in my pic. Neener neener :p :p

[Old Man Havasu]

And he has 75 MAGNUM shells? No wonder those birds are heading for teriyaki stew. :p
I will be in Hinckley (North Edwards AFB Cali) on Friday for a wide open shoot and on the south side of Havasu for the holiday. Where ever my golf cart can get me to. Two more weeks before therapy for the broken leg.
Look out quail! I will be ready! :D

[SmokinLowriderSS]

Nope, will be at the lake for the holliday weekend. Will be out the following week tho. Pond 1/4 mile S of my house. Unfortunately gotta miss the NEXT weekend too. Riot Controll (how to beat people with a stick) class 3-yr refresher, Natl. Guard requirement. Might make it that Sun evening.

[1manshow]

Do you hunt private land in delano?? Also where do you hunt?? 1manshow

[Beer Factor]

Heading for Niland. Should be a good one.

Good luck with that. More secrets in a hunting camp than anywhere in the USA. Just got back from bowhunting in Utah and every guy that tagged a buck came in and was whispering his ass off. Nothing like a bit of misinformation to keep your spot safe for next year! :)
What are you shooting Matt? I think the Supermag is staying home and I'll use the O/U again this year...

[Mike D.]

I already got my limit j/k:crossx: :crossx: . I just need to walk out my front door and go hunting in my almond trees where they are flying around by the hundreds :D . So i guess i'll just go to the river for labor day and go hunting when i get home :crossx: !!!

[Riverkid]

^^^ Nice! We've got a hookup on private land this year. Can't hardly wait. Gila Bend was always good, but what do you do there for the 23 1/2 hours you aren't hunting??? It's gonna be another hot one.

[Cheap Thrills]

It can't be dove season already , the corn is still on the stalk around here :rollside:
C.T. :wink:

[angry dad]

Make sure you have your effin plug in your shotgun!! i gotta 720.00 fine last year!@!

Its private owned land that is open to the public. If that makes any sense. I have no clue where exactly it is. I'm just a passenger on this trip. I've gone there the last 2 years in a row and lets just say a shitty shooter can get a limit.

[Never Satisfied]

Blow off the river and come over and we'll BBQ in the backyard, the girls can bring us icy cold drinks and we can sit the the recliner patio chairs and shoot them out of my back yard! Just an option since you realllllly want to go that weekend! :crossx:

Do you still have the pheasant hunt in Pixley every year? I'm looking for invite!
What are you cooking? Are you famialiar with the Sanger Tri-tip barrel?

[havasu5150]

Havn't hunted Dove n 20+ years. Back in the day I dated a girl whose family owned a ranch on the river in Blythe. Hunted for 2 hours or so in the am......then spent the rest of the day chasing drunken hunters out of the Alphalfa fields. Had more fun doing the latter. :p

They aren't magnum shells.

It's a Beretta 391 Extrema 12 guage.

[Trailer Park Casanova]

Hunter Liggit.

It was supposed to be a humerous comment.

[boxscore]

Need a hunter safety course cert. or a licsence from a prior year to get one in Ca.
If I say I can't locate the cert., can I just sign an affidavit? Or are those days of doing that long gone?

[Phat Matt]

They are slugs. That is why I need 75 of them. :)

[Old Man Havasu]

Wow and in .410 to boot! I am impressed! :eek:

The Wal Mart by my house took my word for it.

Depends where you go. Sometimes they ask and sometimes they don't. Its kinda weird though. I went to a Big 5 Sporting goods by my house to get mine. The girl at the counter asked to see mine. But when she gave me the license she didn't even have me fill it out in front of her. I could have given it to anyone. Some people are clueless I guess.

[Phat Matt]

good luck

[djunkie]

good luck
I didn't need luck. We killed em. :crossx: :crossx:

If you hunt out of state, you will need a copy of your hunter safety course certificate to obtain an out of state licence.

Not in AZ. LAst year I did it online for an Az. license and they didn't want anything except for my money.
And now that I think of it I didn't need to show one either for my license I get when I go to Nebraska.

For wht its worth.
Don't need one in SoDak nor have I ever been asked for one when I get my license to hunt CRIT land either.
BTW, my SoDak guide came out here for the dove opener and all he had to show was his SoDak license to get a CA non-resident.

[Kindsvater Flat]

Hunting was great here. The kid, 2 nephews, bro inlaw, and 1 friend all limited out in about an hour.
This might have something to do with it. Just harvested the safflower in front of the house last weekend. :D
