  • All across America hunters kick off the fall hunting season with a weekend of doves, friends, and food. Steve's lifelong friend, Ronny Boehme has invited Steve out to his digs in Virginia for the dove opener. To prep for opening day, Steve and Ron spend a day brushing up on their shooting skills on a sporting clays course followed by a pigeon hunt. Steve shares simple, delicious cooking methods for doves and pigeons.

Watching this episode brought me a sense of community that other shows fail to provide, when everybody is out there shooting doves, it seems so damn fun wel you guys can all come together and do what you love best.
