Hunting Season

Hunting season is right around the corner. Dove season officially kicks off the hunting season in Alabama this weekend. Dove season for many is just an excuse to get out the guns and start getting ready for the other hunting seasons around the corner.

Many organizations have dove fields ready to hunt for a small fee. Safety is a major concern on these hunts. Fields are traditionally crowded and it is rare to know many of the other hunters. One must be careful to choose a location that has birds available but yet is arranged to ensure the safety of the hunters. Common sense should rule the day but as the saying goes, "Common sense is not so common.".

Low flying birds present the most dangerous situation sine the opportunity for a more direct hit from a gunshot is at its highest. Everyone should be alert and exercise self control when the birds are flying. This is especially important for young hunters who become excited and shoot before they think. It is important for young hunters to be accompanied by an experienced hunter to help me make good decisions.

With good hunting etiquette can ensure a great time and some good eating as well.
