Ethan had always loved the thrill of the hunt, and this season, he set his sights on doves. Rising before sunrise, he packed his gear and drove to an open field where birds often gathered. He positioned himself near a cluster of mesquite trees, scanning the sky. As the morning light grew, flocks began to appear. Remembering his training in Texas dove hunting , he steadied his shotgun and took a clean shot. A bird dropped, and his heart pounded with excitement. The day had just begun, but he already felt the deep satisfaction that only a successful hunt brings.
