I have never been dove hunting and here it is 1:30 am and I can't sleep. I just lay in bed and think about tomorrow. Has anyone else ever been like this?

Yes I have and I am now. I always get excited before hunts and even fishing trips. You will have a blast.

Heck I close my eyes and all I think about are fat dove fallin out of the sky.

If that does not happen to you it's probably time to stop hunting. Happens to me every year for opening season of dove, teal, duck, and archery.
That's why I am up right now, could not sleep, I am not even leaving the house till 6:15 to hunt.

Yep been awake for about an hour!! Toss and turned till my wife said just get up and go get ready. Now we are up and ready.


Best of luck. Hope you enjoy your self.

I get that way before deer season but not dove

I went to bed about 9:45pm woke up at 3:30 and it was difficult to sleep from there on.

Just got home from working a 13 hour shift and about to pack the car up to head out. This all nighter is definitely worth it

Uh oh. this is the first time I wasn't too excited to sleep. I slept like a rock. But, I was exhausted. And it is dove season. When it excitement stops for me for waterfowl, then I'll worry.

Nopes, went to bed at 9 with sleeping aid.


Feel great

Happens to me for ducks, and bow season. Dove is just the ole warm up.

I get this way with archery season but I'm just amazed that a lil bird can make me this way. I finally got to sleep at around 3:30. Well it's 6am and time to get ready. Good luck to everyone and be safe.

Does not matter what I am hunting always feels exciting. Just can't get enough
