Elkhunter’s ‘Dove’ Hunt

His handle is Elkhunter but he signs off as Javelina Outfitter,

The people on the forums know that he is 18 years old and hails from southern Arizona. He is now at NAU for his freshman year majoring in forestry. Here is a post from early September where he shares his first dove hunting trip in the high country.

Well this morning I decided to go dove hunting up in 7E, well here's my conclusion, they’re nearly no doves up here! I walked a long ways today, and spotted 7 doves, but only had one opportunity to shoot at them. They were flying past me and one decided to land close to me while the rest flew somewhere. I went 1 for 1 today! can't get better than that. I hunted for about 4 hours for one dove. Plus I saw a jackrabbit moving under a juniper so I got closer and put it on a run, got the sucker at 30 yards. Gonna be fine eating. Here are some pictures of the northern bird hunting. I had a blast with my new camera, coming up with all kinds of poses!
Here's my first dove, it's in my hand...it's a small guy

Here's my first northern rabbit, posing in big game style! I figured since I didn’t get drawn for anything this year, I could do these poses with small game.

Here's another cool pose I tried out and it looks good too!

My last picture is kinda crooked, but my truck was lopsided due to where I parked.
