 Well step out the door this morning and look who's sitting there. It's old foxy poo Right when I was getting up my rifle hmm. I think he's going now Dad you know what today is? What? It's opening day opening season. That's right. Let's go get them. That's right y'all Not opening day of small mouth season or large mouth season. It's opening day of Dove season and that's all dad's been talked about. Hey, it's exciting. I'm ready to go You know, it's rare that I get the opportunity to go with my son and Dove hunt. Well, let's go crack some birds with some old shotguns We're gonna be hunting with antique shotguns today. Are they antiques? Antiques. They are Remington's that were built on the Browning pattern. We're gonna be hunting with Remington Model 11's Dad's got a 12 gauge and recently got a 16 gauge he wants me to use because it kicks too hard for it Thanks dad. That is just a pretty shotgun The old humpback. Yep It's just really neat man. It kicks like a mule. All right And you're gonna thank me for buying this little recoil pad At the last minute because I shot it last weekend and it bruised me. This is after a week Just so people are aware. What's going on there? Jeez. Those little shells you're telling me. Yeah, those little shells. Did that. Oh my goodness man Hopefully I can hit a broad side of a bar in her dove. There you go It's just a special day to come out here with my dad the first time we ever went hunting The time he ever took me hunting was on a dove hunt. I remember he got me this really cool gun It was a single shot 410 bolt action shotgun And that's what I went dove hunting with and I shot some birds my first time out and I was so pumped You know, I was probably like eight or nine years old and from then on I was hooked on hunting So this is really just about me and dad coming out and enjoying the outdoors He was so excited last year when we went he had a 12 gauge in the Remington model 11 And he went out and he got a 16 gauge a few weeks ago. We cleaned it up. It's this old humpback style. It's really awesome Oh, oh Oh We got a couple other hunters in the field right now They just pop three up dad's on the other side of the pond right now. It looks like the does are starting to fly But let's blast some birds y'all Well, that Texas Sun is a hundred percent completely out now dad's got one dove I've got none. How's that? Oh, what do we got here? We got one coming No, we don't that's a mockingbird. It's not exactly on fire You can keep 15 apiece keep bag limits 15 apiece. That'd be 30 that now we got one got a little work to do Just discovered on this shotgun There's a beautiful pheasant and a mallard on there is Indicating to me that this is probably a full choke which makes it even worse for me I need that wide spray man. I had one that came right in front of me a shot three times It did a circle around me. I put another shell in and I still missed I'm getting me some OSG approved oatmeal squirts Hopefully don't give me the squirts out here the pond. I'm sitting next to they're coming to it No, they come in there. They suck a little water and then they fly off They're in there about for about five minutes really what I should do is get a rod fish and then just cast and blast I don't have a rod with me though. Dang it dad's moving in closer to the pond I got to play this strategy out. They're gonna get up like that one is right now I'm probably gonna miss them if they come this way, but I'll at least blast some shells at them. Let them know. What's up? Bounty is slim. Yeah, I can't say anything because I have none I should have had at least six when the bird flops around right in front of you and you shoot three times You just want to go home. Yeah, I do want to see if I can hit something I think we should toss it up in the air. Let's shoot it off the ground first just to make sure I Can actually hit something. I'm gonna see what this shot pattern is like on this old 16 gauge with a full choke 22 yards that's dang on bow shot killed it one of the suckers got more kick when you're not shooting at a bird You got your adrenaline going this how bad we're pepperoni in this pizza right here Looks like full coverage on this disc. That's about a foot in diameter. Here's the real test This is the real interesting one here I don't think I hit it terrible. I think I hit it. Yeah, I did hit it. Oh, yeah. Oh, great. Let me try a self one Missed it totally damn hard. There's a water bottle over here Blaster over here. I figured you get enough lead up there a little come down I know this is a rather weird transition. We had to leave that spot. It's getting hot Amino SG Working on flipping baby. Anyway, that's on that's on the home vlog if you want to check that one out She is Mondo preggers right now. We're literally just talking about when we're gonna schedule Babies being born. It's almost evening time. Me and dad are gonna head back out there time to strap on some camo Get out of my birthday suit. Just kidding. I'm not naked But I did have a tick on me and I had to strip down and check y'all y'all know what that's about Well, he's gonna get a shot. We have just seen way more doves on the drive out than we did this morning and one Just letting in a tree over there. That's that's my kind of dove right there They're definitely gonna come to this watering hole. That's behind us So we better load up and get ready because we've already seen a couple Put him on my pouch. Oh bird number two down came up on me so fast I couldn't turn the GoPro on. Nailed you the old 16 gauge Got him Tell me something good father. I found a bone Geez you did find a big bone. Is that for Miss B? It's yeah Well, I don't know that your mother would like Miss B eating that but it does look kind of scrumptious, doesn't it? Or anything else we can eat in the bucket. I have three. You got three. I should have had seven Yeah, yeah, maybe eight or nine. Yeah, or maybe ten But do you have fun? I did I had a blast. I was shooting quite a bit dad. Yes, I did get some All right, I did get some. I'm not sure if I have three. We're about to see Three to add to your three from this morning, which is six. We're 24 away from our limit currently These full jokes right is when they come in close, there's no chance. I got a better chance at Jumping up and grabbing them, but I do actually hitting them. It's a cool gun. It's a good caliber for doing this shooting these old guns Kind of a lot of fun. It's like a throwback. There's some sunglasses That's always good fine in your back hatch. There's one two three Quattro So like you I probably should have had eight or nine seven you had three this morning So we got ten today, I mean we're only 20 off our limit Shooting birds is fun. Wrap these in some bacon and some jalapenos Back at the cost of y'all time to do a little cleaning. I want to show y'all my very first Shotgun this right here is gonna be Emmys one day. Maybe if we have a boy. We'll save it for him Oh Ben Benjamin River. This is a super safe gun for a young person to use and Anyone that's just getting into firearms to learn on a new Haven model 7 Mossberg and Sun's light It's pretty short. Just feels good, and you got that simple operation right there So very simple process to walk through get a shell Open it up. You put one in You close that and there you go. That's who you learn bolt action first time you took ever took me to How old was I like eight nine yours eight or Seven or eight seven or eight years old shop a first one when I was a young extra man Yeah, you got three birds the first day three birds my first day ever going death on. Yeah, hey Shop one more than that today. Oh still got it baby clean one of them 40 on camera Just so you know getting in a dove hunt. Maybe you haven't got your license yet Go get it season just started think dad picked one of these up at the Academy for like 15 bucks or something like that So you can swivel on it's got a little swivel top Sway around and get you a bird or two. You want to pluck the bird first? So you basically just want to come up through here The last time we we cling these they were they were winter birds So they probably had more fat on them But this is this is so easy if you've never done this like you'll you'll just feel it Come right right up that I apologize these feathers are coming out We'll get these feathers off the breast and when you shoot them You'll see a little pellet shots old tweeter got it close to the neck right there You just want to take your your forefinger right there Grip it right on top and then take your thumb. This is the most important part get your thumb Up under that brow. I'll go get in there guys. Just give me a second get your thumb Right up under there and then push in see how my thumb just went in there like that It's super easy It's like God just made these things to be super easy to play then all you got to do since they're such a delicate creature Especially these morning doves down there with your index finger with your other hand grab the whole body Hold it down and then pull up Then all that's going to be attached is the wings you can get a knife you can get in there and cut them But usually what I do is just twist Until they come off Then you're left with just the breasts. So there you go. There's your finished product right there y'all You can take that skin off if you want, but the bones are just broken right there off the wings Then you got your breast. There's a dark meat And then there's a kind of a light meat on the inside if you've never eaten these before both of those meats are Delectable and delicious. So just get in there dig in. It's like a small little chicken My favorite way to eat these is wrapped in bacon and jalapeno So we will be doing that with these but you can also chop them up throw them in stew if you got a bunch of They're just a super lean meat. There's not a whole lot of fat on them at all. All right, dad You're hot. We got a few more to go man. Well guys what a day in the outdoors.
