Forget the worries over .22 ammo.
Forget the shortages of bulk surplus and dry up of surplus rifles.
Dove season has opened!!!

Time to break out the shotguns, scarf up a stick of cheap Walmart shotgun shells and head for the freshly mowed corn fields in search of natures own version of the F15!
Doves are one of those game animals that revive one's faith in the hunting sports. You do not have to own land, drive for a thousand miles or have a fancy gun.
Farmers in my area put adds in the news and posters in the window of the LGS advertising hunts on their freshly harvested fields. You just show up, park, pay your $5-$10 and shoot at the little missiles until you run out of shells!
The local WMA has a 100 acre field planted in mixed corn, millet and sorghum which they mow the day before season opens just to enhance the presence of the little critters. You can shoot there for free!
Next comes archery deer season.
Once again, life has meaning!
