Dove opener in eastern Wa, near Coulee City

[Cut Plug's Bait Boy]

Headed off to the Busby Hunt Club on Wednesday morning. Got unpacked and headed down to the fishing pond. Caught 2 dandy rainbows on my fly rod. Got a good night sleep for the dove opener the next morning. Headed out on the ranger to the dove hole at about 7am. On the way to the dove spot, saw 4 bucks and a few doves. I was able to harvest my first 2 doves. Dad got his limit of doves but my 6 pound rainbow was much bigger than his biggest fish! A great couple days at the club. Can't wait for the mule deer opener. Lots of bucks in the area.

There were more doves last year.

Good to hear you guys got into some doves over there Bait Boy. I didn't think it was possible to hit one of those things

You're not alone. When I was your age I averaged about a dove per box of shells. Nowadays I'm much better...about two doves per box
