I'll usually go varminting of some for or another in the late spring, early summer. The first serious hunt is usually coyotes (mixed in throughout the year as well) or grouse, then partridge, waterfowl, pheasant, a little more waterfowl and a little more partridge. I've pretty much given up on doves, despite a couple of failed attempts in recent years. All my old dove spots are now subdivisions. A lot of the doves are still there, just might not be the best idea to shoot them as they fly into someone's flower beds. :mrgreen:
