Mike, I am ready for dove season next September--I believe that just comming close on a few birds would be more fun than a limit with a shotgun.
Jerry, You will love your bow when it comes in. Get it broken in soon. I have one of Mikes New Leaf bows that he made for me a couple of years ago, and last year I had him make that mountain bow. The bows are identical and I shoot them interchangeably. This was my first kill with the mountain bow.
Everyone needs to try a pheasant hunt/bird hunt. It is truly a great experience

Ben, Now doves there is a huge challange -- I could envision it. Thanks for the words on the leaf bow, told Mike I am already planning my attack on when I should have him get stared on one of those --  need to sell some longbows first, more than likely. Enjoy that warm weather for me. Thanks Jerry.

Nice bird

fun fun fun fun fun
