I am planning a free dove hunt over Labor Day in Eastland County. I have two different tracs of land. Motels rooms may be hard to find in Eastland because of other hunters. I have areas where you may camp if you like. Plan on roughing it. Bring your grill, and sleeping bag. Dads, I encourage you to bring your children provided they hunt. I welcome trap shooting and I will have a 100-200 yard rifle range set up, .22 and 10, 15 and 25 yard range for pistols. You may bring your dog if they don't chase cattle. This is not my property, it belongs to my parents, so please respect it. This hunt is limited to the first 60 hunters. RSVP as soon as you can. Be a good idea to get a white-wing stamp too, they are in the area. Hunter ed cards, dont forget them if you have to have one, it's a ticket. The reason I am doing this is to promote youth hunting, you might even meet a new friend. All Marines active and retired, disables hunters are encouraged to attend. We will auction off a few items in a silent auction, a 30-06, two hog hunts in Mexia, TX, game hoist, ect. All proceeds will go to the SEMPER FI FUND for wounded Marines families. It is your choice if you wish to participate.
I have a few rules.
1. Be safe, we are all hunters and we enjoy a safe and fun hunt.
2. No illegal drugs or alcohol. You will be asked to leave.
3. Follow all hunting regulations, the game warden there will write you a ticket. There is no limit on the Eurasian dove, so know what type of bird you are shooting at.
4. Drink plenty of water, it will be hot.
5. Please do not litter, I will have trash cans available.
6. Please dispatch any coyote or wild hog you see.
7. Please be respectful of others and their property.
8. If you open a gate, shut it back.
9. Watch the cattle, they are expensive.
10. Watch for copperheads and rattlesnakes.
Pigeon Road Guns is a few miles away. There is a Wal-Mart in Eastland to get shells. I will be around all day Friday to greet you and help you with your things. They are seeing lots of birds and shooting should be good. Remember this is a free hunt and let's have a good time.
You may contact me through the forum, PM, email me at sidneyrholt@yahoo.com or call at 903-348-7602....I look forward to meeting you.
