I am!!!! I've got a sunflower field waiting for me to swat the doves off of it...

I'm almost giddy knowning that fall is almost here...Dove hunting, college football...it should be a national holiday!!!

Dove starts Sept. 1st for us. What that means is that August 29th we'll have our first fall freeze, and on August 30th all the Doves will leave the area.

Otherwise... yeah, they live in my driveway and torment my dog by staying "just" out of reach.

I'm fairly new to Florida so I'll have to scope out some good spots.

What part of Idaho are you from sdkidaho? I'm from Idaho, born in Jerome and moved to Boise when I was 22.

**sdkidaho** · 08-27-2005, 09:30 PM

Outside of Idaho Falls. Born and raised in Wyoming, though - north of Jackson Hole.

Cool, I went to ISU for a couple of years in Poky.

I'm jealous of the outrageous goose hunting you're going to be able to do this winter.

Where?

I've done some hunting around here, but I am sorely lacking when it comes to knowing where to go that is public access.

Here is new pic from Truscott, hope they hold tight up there, we sure are gonna throw some shells at them this year!!!!

sdkidaho,
I was in jackson hole not to long ago. I did some hiking and what not. Took a trip down the Snake, below the Tetons to catch a few cut throats.

Very nice place....

Hmmm, I don't know about public access. My cousin owns a few acres east of Pocatello and we used to get geese in there.

If you are willing to drive a bit. American Falls Reservour!! I've never seen more geese in my life. There are a lot of cool farmers up there that will let you hunt if you ask nicely

Find one with land bordering the lake, you'll have so many flocks coming in that when you decide to take one you'll scare off 2 others that were incoming..

I'll see if my cousin doesn't know of any public hunting spots closer to Idaho Falls.
