You look forward to opening day for months. You have new boxes of shells, a clean gun and hopes higher than a dove can fly. Everything will be perfect.
But of course, sometimes it’s not.
“We planned to go with an outfitter near Riesel, Terry Myers, on Saturday afternoon,” LSON Executive Editor Craig Nyhus said. “He called a few days before and said that he didn’t know what happened, but all his dove left and we might want to think about a Plan B. There’s nothing better than an honest outfitter.”
Operations Manger Mike Hughs, Founder David Sams, his wife and youngest daughter, in addition to a few friends, joined Nyhus. Plan B consisted of hunting the 170 acres around the house where the group was staying.
“On Saturday we hunted around the property in Axtell,” Nyhus said. “There weren’t many dove, but it was enough to keep you from going to sleep.”
The group shot about 15 dove the first morning, and about the same amount that evening. Due to the slow action, they turned to other activities.
