Any (bird) hunters on here?

I'll be getting the shotguns out this weekend to inspect and clean before dove season. I didn't get out for coyotes this year because I've been too busy but I can't be kept from doves, quail, ducks and occasionally, pigeons.

I do some quail hunting with my girlfriend's dad every year. He's in it more for the training for his German Shorthaired Pointers, but it's still a great opportunity to knock down a few birds. Hopefully I'll have my dad's old 16ga Remington 1100 up and running for this season. It's a beautiful shotgun, but the gas system is worn out.

Big waterfowler here. I'm in New England, so we have a nice flyway with a good spread. Although we don't get the quantities lie some of the shows on TV, I see enough birds to keep me into it.

Ducks are probably my favorite to hunt. A lot of people don't realize how amazing they are. I got some brand new decoys this summer for a steal and I can't wait to try them out.

Absolutely. I went nuts buying new gear last year..I got a dozen GHG Mallards, a dozen G&H Mallards, and a dozen of GHG divers for realism. I got the "quivering butt," and I forget who makes it..but that thing rocks. Cabela's usually puts Mojo decoys (the motion ones with spinning wings) on sale and I got one pretty cheap..also a great addition. I usually keep a few sets on a jerk string.

What kind of decoys did you get?

I picked up an old Armstrong Sneaker duck boat/canoe earlier this year and want to try it out this duck season. We'll see how it goes.

Tanglefree. I got like 22 Mallards (swimmers and feeders) for $30.
We also use my late father-in-law's roboduck (motorized rotating-wing decoy drake).

Bird hunters? Hell yeah! In October I like nothing better than taking my two labs out for pheasants, or better yet, going up on the mountain & annoying the hell out of the grouse population.

I look forward to waterfowl season every year! I've been hunting ducks and geese hard every year since I was 11. It's awesome fun and gives me something to get super excited about in October!

With opening weekend of dove season around the corner, I used to always find myself torn between the first Razorback game and shooting dove. After getting a Boykin pup my mind has been made for me. Last year he picked up every bird I shot, plus two that he nosed out after friends thought they'd lost them in the field. Definitely looking forward to a successful repeat and his first duck hunt this year.
