Any hunts you wouldn’t do again?

also probably wouldn’t do the CBL thing again

Same for me. Did it once, no moral issues for me but it the end of all the animals I hunted that trip that one did the least for me. No regrets so to speak, learned a lot on that hunt and also about myself.

I am working quite some time on the report now and will post it sometime in the future. Maybe next year. But to answer that question, that is the hunt I would not do again.

Was stationed at YPG and liked hunting doves around the orchards. When they flooded the orchards, it drove all the rattlesnakes out, so you really had to be careful early in the morning.

When I lived in Californicate in the '80s, a group of us hunted the Yuma Indian Reservation several times on opening day/weekend. Great dove hunting! In 110F heat we'd hunt in the morning until about 1100 and then head back to the Motel 6 and eat some lunch and take a nap in the AC. We'd go back out about 1600 and when we returned after dark with our limits, we'd grill the dove breasts various ways on Hibachis that we brought. The motel even had a dove cleaning station (sinks/water/trashcans) in the parking lot. The beauty of hunting there was the fact you didn't need to buy a pricey Arizona small game nonresident license and the Indian license was only $10. Good times!
