Quick Afternoon Euro Dove Session at the Dairy

I took a walk to the commodity barn this afternoon and set up a "sniper hide" behind a tractor. The wind is really howling here today, and the Euro doves were wanting to land and feed in the almond husks. Even after picking off one, the others would fly and land close by. That either allowed for another shot or gave them the chance to come back into range. Shots were anywhere from 60 yards to 110 yards. I was using my MKIII .22 with NSA .216 31.2 gr. slugs. Had some misses and two wounded birds escaped, but I ended up with 7 birds for thirty minutes.
