Used the same gun and shells today on a millet field and brought the total for the two shoots up to 24. Shot like crap today .........almost all I got to shoot at were 50 yards or more. Tough shooting at those distances in a 20-25 mph wind.

Re: 1918 BE
Beautiful BE there Stan, thanks for showing us that gun.
That is some fine shooting, 15 for 21. I’ve never hunted dove in a sunflower field, but that sure sounds like fun. Here in Pa we normally find a field or pasture with some trees and a water source and then hope you’re at the right spot. Doves sure can wise up quick though.
