Wrap Them in Bacon. Mmmmmmmmm.
Dove season opened today in Kansas, and I am sitting in my office in Chicago. Crap.
Every year from the time I started hunting until the Fall of 2001 (the beginning of the law school era), the opening day of dove season was a hallowed day that involved getting up early, driving out to a field or a pond dam, and blasting the bejeezus out of lots of little doves. All of which is vital for population control and preservation of the species. But today? Nope. I woke up early, walked to work, and haven't blasted the bejeezus out of squat.
This all leads to the irrefutable conclusion that responsibility sucks, and the more of it you get, the fewer things you get to shoot.
Hunting dove is definitely on my list of the three best things ever invented in the history of the world. (The other two are beach chairs and beer.) Dove fly to the pond in flocks, so you get to say things like "they were coming right for me," and you can actually hunt from a tailgate. Genius. Also, unlike other gamebirds (specifically, ducks) dove actually taste great, although they can get a little dry when you grill them, so you should wrap them in bacon. Mmmmmmm.

You know ... responsibility only sucks until you're high enough on the ladder that you don't have to be in the office on opening day.
See, light at the end of the tunnel. :)
P.S. because it's a very, very loooong tunnel - I suggest the purchase of a nerf gun for the time being.
love ya
