First Ring Necked Dove!

[cawwwrin]

I have a very small backyard so it's REALLY hard for me to sneak up on the dove infestation right by me. I opened my side door, and saw this big dove on my neighbors fence.

I thought it would get scared away but it landed to eat seed that I spread all over my yard. Pure luck. I literally had less than 10 seconds to slowly raise my Benjamin .22 and get a clean shot! I was so excited haha.

I have the Benjamin Trail NP, not the XL. I agree though, great and affordable!

Ooops I mean I have a Crosman Nitro Venom, had to sell my Benjamin. Similar rifles though!

Good shot! I get a lot of collard doves in my yard as we ground feed Quail and Morning Doves with chicken scratch, so far I have passed on them and sorted out the pigeons. The day that changes it will be a slaughter, all year, no season, no bag limit.

Thanks! Good luck with your hunt, it's so challenging and addicting! I've been getting about one a day, I wish I had more land
