New member here. My name is Andre LeMoine and I live in Round Rock, Tx. Sitting here enjoying not being at work. Watching the snow and ice as I read through the forums. I have aquired a few shotguns in the last couple of years and enjoy dove hunting in the fall.

Thank you, we have power and water so another day or so and hopefully thaw out.

Welcome from SW Idaho. All good here weatherwise, but the western seaboard of Oregon is getting hammered, and we are getting some late season snow.

Thank you very much. Only belong to a couple forums. At 61 years of age I am going through my second childhood. Grew up in central Louisiana. Moved to Texas in 1975. Within the last few years I reached a place where I could hunt. A friend has land I am allowed to deer hunt on and another friend has a cattle ranch that supports a good population of mourning, white winged, and Eurasian collared doves. So, really anticipate opening of dove season each September. I am drawn to the older shotguns that I was around as a kid.

Get those old classic boomers oiled up and spin out some hunting tales for us. There are a few things that get my heart going like an upland game bird flush, but not many. I moved back to my home state to bird hunt again like I did when I was a kid, but I am so busy working and trying to turn this old farmstead into a home, I never seem to get out. Somebody needs to straighten out my priorities I guess. The pawnshops here are chock full of classic shotguns, the kids are trading them in for the latest 9mm this or that, or AR15 this or that. I can't own one or more of every one of them, but I would sure enjoy trying.
