Day one of what ended up being two days of hunting. I intended to make it a four-day hunt, but Mother Nature had different plans. This is almost exactly the same thing that happened to me in 2021. Thanks for watching. More to come!!

Nice videos. We went down the evening of the 2nd, 4th and 8th. Couldn't get to our regular spots because of the lakes on the canal roads. Ended finding a great spot I found years ago, my son, dad and I shot about 60 over the three evenings. I have't dove hunted the morning for dove since the late 90's as a teenager with my dad. Two mojo decoys and four statics, 12's and 20's with 6's.

That’s awesome! I’m glad you had success. There was a good amount of birds down there prior to that storm and I know they hung around. My car was the weak link here. Next season will be a different story, however. I’m planning on putting together a couple Eurasian hunts and hopefully redeem myself and my video production game. Thanks for the support and comments 🙏🏻

Bummer about the rain. Glad you didn’t get totally skunked though!

[@desertqwest]

Yeah, it was definitely an experience! Part 2 I recover a bit as it starts to dry out. Definitely more to come!! Stay tuned 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting ☝🏻

Tough conditions but you made the most of it! We had a monster storm sweep through here too.

[@desertqwest]

Friday was brutal! How’d you do?

[@pc8649]

@@desertqwestI've had better shooting days, but on three different mornings I got three limits so I can't complain!

[@desertqwest]

@@pc8649 Nice! I’ll have to redeem myself next time out. Always appreciate your input, friend!

Unbelievable weather. We got it in Yuma but not nearly as devastating.

[@desertqwest]

Yeah, I can't believe it happened almost exactly the same day as 2021 opener. Definitely looking forward to the next trip. Will be putting together some Eurasian trips this year as well. Thanks, buddy

Nice single shot double, you must be in the central valley. So fricken hot... . or , storms on Sept 1 in the valley??

[@desertqwest]

Haha, it’s the ’Valley, just not the Central Valley. September 1 in Imperial Valley…and it was a mess!! 115° and mosquitoes that were starving!! I fared better than 2021 opener when my gear got trashed but this year’s storm lasted way longer! Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏻

Need more hunter in the area to spread out to keep the birds moving around

[@desertqwest]

@@OrienTal.TrOOps1520 That very well could have been the case this day. Either way, I got washed out of there shortly after and was limited to parking on paved roads and walking from there. I’m prepared for that scenario now! Hey, thanks for watching and sharing. September is coming up quickly and I can’t wait!
