There are More Ducks On That Side – Duck Hunting

by Douglas Larsen It’s the oldest joke in waterfowl hunting. An old fellow looks up at a “V” shaped formation of ducks migrating across the sky. He looks at his companion, and says, “Do you know why the one side of the “V” is longer than the other?” The companion, expecting some scientific factoid about …

CORDOBA DOVE SHOOTING REPORT

During August and September, my two favorite months for dove shooting, birds were very strong in the hills, and hatching. For the last 7 years we’ve been in a drought, so farmers have not been seeding winter wheat. Thanks to this year’s rainy weather, all the fields are green with winter wheat. It’s good news …
