Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the Doug Pike Show, brought to you by
American Shooting Centers Guns Shooting, an instruction since nineteen eighty nine.
Now here's Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
All right, here we go, Ready, ain't fire. Dove season
is officially open. First time in a long time that
any of us have been able to go out there
and knock them around, and I'm kind of curious. I'm
gonna make a couple of phone calls during the breaks
and see if I can't get somebody to one of
the outfitter guys I know to come on and just

(00:34):
give us an idea of what it looked like yesterday afternoon.
I know that where Rick is doing most of his
driving and doing most of his work, he was having
a hard time finding any doves for the last week
or two. But I also know that there are places,
some not very far from where I'm sitting, even certainly

(00:56):
could be there within an hour, that there are doves everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
It looks really really good.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Boy.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
This this monitor in here, Melvin is tilted a little bit,
and I feel like I'm I feel like I'm sliding
off the edge of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
That's so bizarre. It's just an optical illusion.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
But with it leaning that way and you're the main
screen in here level as it was when it was
put in, it's it's yeah, I'm gonna fix that. This
is gonna make me feel like I'm on a that
made me like I'm on a roller coaster. I don't
want that. So anyway, there are plenty of doves bookoo,
as they would say in Louisiana. And I can say

(01:37):
that because I'm half Cajun. Anyway, where's my little cursor
there it is? I wanted to go to a statistic
the old statistics pile and remind you I talked about
this yesterday, so it's no news to anybody who listened yesterday.
The spring population surveys conducted by Parks and Wildlife pretty

(01:58):
much came close to records thirty four point three million
mourning doves in this state and probably a few more
since spring. I would say that the population has grown,
not diminished since that time, because there have been additional
hatches all over the state, white wings setting a new
record high with an estimated twelve point eight million birds.

(02:23):
Now we'll knock a bunch of them out along the
way during hunting season. Texas takes out more more doves
than any other state. We take eighty five percent of
the total white wing harvest in the entire United States.
But that's only that's probably because we've got at least
eighty five percent of the population. It's not that there

(02:44):
aren't other people doing their best to knock down some
tasty white winged doves elsewhere, they just don't have as many.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
They just don't have as many.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
For the record, the whole season is open starting today
in these zone though it's the white wing season, so
you got to be careful you're what's flying over your head.
You can't be knocking down morning doves until the fourteenth,
I believe it is.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
So there you have it.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
And also noteworthy about the special white wing season because
of the way the calendar falls this year.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
It opens today and is open again tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
This is the special white wing weekends, and I'll wrap
quotes around that because of the way it is, so
you've got a Sunday, Monday, the first, and the second,
and then Friday, Saturday Sunday three days and then only Friday,
the thirteenth to wrap it up, which I guess they
didn't want to start dove season in August, which would

(03:46):
have been starting on or on Saturday yesterday. So they
just convoluted and just kind of jumbled up the calendar
and made it more complicated.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
But I think most of us can handle it the limits.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
By the way, this year, fifteenth birds once again, and
there's a di asterisk by all of those. It's fifteen.
Hang on there, I had, boy, I had one really solid,
solid chart that I could have read off of, and
I don't see it in these notes here.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Started I want to know where it is.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Hold On, I've got this big, big pile of paper
here that I printed out, and I'm sitting here squinting
trying to read the screen. Yeah, fifteen, Well, it's straight
across the board. During the irregular season, fifteen birds, no
more than two white tipped, fifteen birds, no more than
two white tipped et cetera, et cetera. And then during
these special white wings seasons, the little five days of

(04:41):
that or six days of that, whatever, it is, no
more than two morning doves and two white wings or
white tipped excuse me in your bag. And of course,
for you falconers art there, boy, if there's a falconer
out there, I would love to hear from you, and
I would love to hear about how you do that
where there you go and I can I can tell

(05:02):
you straight up if you're gonna call and try to
fake me out and tell me you're a falconer, I
know enough about it to know if you're feed me
a lot of bull So don't do that. I wonder
how many have you ever even witnessed falconing?

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Melman, No, I haven't, you know, I think it.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Would be a cool thing to do, but I also
know that those birds are extremely expensive and hard to upkeep,
and I don't know what else you would do with
your falcon the rest of the year.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's interesting.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
That's that's the as they would say this sixty four
thousand dollar questions, That's exactly right.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I do.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I have had the experience of seeing a falcon hit
a dove in mid air, just I think believe they
call it stooping, and that thing was I don't know
how fast it was going, but I know it was
going fast enough that it What I witnessed was what
looked like this falcon hitting this dove and blowing every

(06:04):
feather out of its carcass. Just this big, giant explosion
of feathers. And then the next thing I see is
the falcon on the ground on top of the dove,
just finishing it off. It was probably done when it
lost all its feathers. That was the most one of
the most startling and amazing and just unforgettable scenes I've

(06:30):
ever seen in nature. And I've been out there long
enough and seen enough things that I could have been
totally surprised by all kinds of stuff, But that was impressive.
These birds were just the doves were just sitting in
a bear tree, a wintertime bear tree, and on the
side of the road.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I saw him up there. I pay attention to that
kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
This is back when I was guiding waterfowl to and doves,
and so I'm always looking for birds. And there's about
ten doves in this little short, scrubby tree.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Kind of looked like a.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Like a lollipop, just a big old lollipop of a
tree with branches at the top. And then one little,
one little stalk of a trunk coming down ten feet
tall maybe, and half a dozen doves, maybe eight or ten,
I don't know, But all of a sudden they all
broke and flew out, just as I was about maybe
one hundred yards in front of this tree going down

(07:24):
the highway, a little two lane highway between Sealy and
Eagle Lake, and as they came out, they came out
of that tree, one of them just disintegrated and that
was when the falcon hit it. And as I went by,
I saw the bird on the ground, on the on
the dove, and it was he was just he was

(07:45):
just fixing lunch, just like you and I go in
and make a blooney sandwich.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's that's what he had to do to do that though.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety Email
me Dougpike at iHeartMedia dot com if you haven't been hunting,
If you're out in the field now and happen to
have an earbud in and are listening, I would love
to hear from you. If you are going this afternoon,
I want to remind you to take care of your checklist,
which you should have done. What you should have been
making the list over the last two weeks, and everything

(08:15):
ought to have been either in your vehicle if you
can secure it properly, or at least at the door
on your way out this afternoon. Whenever you leave to
go where you're going, the quick checklist, an easy one license,
shotgun shells, something to sit on because eventually, I don't
care how tough you are and where you're gonna hunt.

(08:36):
You can only lean against a tree or a fence
post for so long before your legs are gonna get
sick and tired of doing that.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
You're gonna need bug spray.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
And that's that's just every time you leave the house
in Southeast Texas for any outdoor activity, maybe a little
snack or two, plenty of water, and here's something. Because
it did rain. We all knew it would, we just
didn't know when. Because it has been raining lately. Depending
on where you're going, you might want to fold up

(09:06):
one hundred dollars bill and put it in your wallet
in case you have to get towed out of the mud.
That's a good thing if you're going to the beach too,
if you're unless you're somebody who just goes to a
driving beach and stays on the hard packed sand that's
got tire tracks and it's just like driving down asphalt.

(09:26):
If you are an adventurer at all and might get
into a little bit of soft sand or soft mud.
As was the case when I was younger, I couldn't
help myself. I had to know what was around the
next corner. I had to know what was over that
next dune. And I got stuck more than once. And
a little cash is a good thing to have on you.
And I guess in this day and age, tow truck

(09:50):
drivers would accept payments through PayPal or Venmo or something
like that. But nothing says, nothing says help me out, Now,
help you out? Like a hundred dollars bill. Would you agree?
Moment you're a hundred percent yeah, yeah, one hundred percent,
one hundred times one hundred dollars will get you out

(10:11):
of a lot of pickles.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
It really will.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And I don't know, I don't even think inflation has
really I think back when I was getting out of
the sand. Uh, and this is a long time ago,
probably twenty bucks would have done it. But now, as
a grown man, that some kid in the four by
four pickup truck rolls up and I'm stuck in the sand,

(10:34):
I want to make sure he understands that I don't
want him to go driving off. I want I want
my truck or my vehicle whatever I'm driving, that day,
I want it out, I want it.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Back on back on the main drag.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
We had to do that all the time on the
prairie He's got especially, guys would come in from out
of state. They'd fly in, they would rent a car,
and we would go and I've talked about this before,
but I will again. On the way to the break,
we would take them to places where there was a
muddy road that had to be negotiated, and we'd just say, okay, look,

(11:07):
we're gonna drive where you got to stay here, and
get ready. I'm gonna drive down and get all the
decoys out of the truck, and then I'll come back
up this muddy road and I'll turn around and I'll
pick you guys up and throw you in the back
of the truck, and then we'll all ride down there
together and get out and go hunting. And half the time,
I would get all the way down to the end

(11:28):
of three four hundred yards of muddy road, and I'd
get out and I'd toss the decoys out of the
truck onto the side of the road, and I'd see
these headlights just squirreling back and forth, back and forth,
back and forth, coming up the road, and you can
hear the engine just racing, and you can starting to
kind of see a little bit in the headlights even

(11:49):
of mud flying off the standard road tires of these
rent cars and going in front of the car and
back of the car beside the car, probably inside the car,
and the guys had just come sliding up sideways.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
We're ready, let's go.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Uh yeah, we pulled a lot of rent cars, a
lot of rent cars out of the mud, and a
lot of rent cars showed back at inter Continental Airport
filled with mud, filled with feathers, filled with assorted hunting paraphernalia.
It was pretty spirited back then. Uh Travis Wade in

(12:33):
on towing people out of the sand. A pretty smart
mood when you're young. We used to do it for beer.
Same thing as one hundred dollars. It's just a middleman
you take out if you get involved that way.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
All right, we're to the first break. We'll take it
right here.

Speaker 6 (12:50):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety online at sports seven
ninety dot com.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Now more Doug Bite, fall asleep and way up at
a jazz bar.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
What do you love clearing out? What is that?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Marcella's my teacher from un o piano teacher. Really, yes, man,
so you're telling me you play piano. I played for
a little while. So if I brought a keyboard up here,
would you play it?

Speaker 5 (13:18):
I would not play it as well as mister Marcellis
didn't ask that.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, that's a tall order right there.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Man.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
That guy can go.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I love music, I really do, and I appreciate good musicians.
I appreciate good singers and had a good bird story,
which I have several of here thanks to me telling you.
This is like being in shooter corner. Stories breakout all
around you. Ah, where to start? Where to start? Oh bye?
Back to the beach and getting off of the beach.

(13:48):
This is something good to know. Dan told me about this.
It says there are Facebook groups that will do that
stuff virtually for free, Galveston off Road Rescue and Houston
Area off Road Recovery. So I want to write that
down just in case you get stuck, because you know

(14:09):
you won't remember it. You'll just be mad at yourself
for getting stuck. And as I mentioned, Travis said he
just used to do it for beer when he was young.
I bet he'd do it again too. Let's see here
that got that let's go to Allen's story.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
This is kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Hold on, I'm gonna open this up because it looks
like it might have a little bit more than I
can see just in this preview.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
Pain.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Oh yeah, this is good. Sitting on the patio in
front of Romano Italian Restaurant on West Gray. This is
Alan's story when I witnessed a hawk crash into a
Bradford pear tree that was full of small birds. When
the hawk crashed in the tree, talons extended. All the

(14:51):
birds flew off in fear, except the one unlucky bird
that the raptor took to the top of a light pull.
Oh my gosh, right out there on the patio. He
proceeded to rip that bird apart, and the feathers floated
down onto the patio. That probably wouldn't the restaurant's finest moment.

(15:16):
I wouldn't think, But you know, everybody's got to eat,
every creature has to eat, and I, honestly I wouldn't
be put off by that happening. I just brushed the
feathers off of my spaghetti meatballs and and or my
lasagna and just plow on through the plate. Would that
bother you, Melan, not at all. It's just nature.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
It's nature, the routine of life, and if you can't,
if you can't stand it.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
It reminds me years ago of the woman who rode
into I believe it might have been the New York Times,
and there's evidence of it online somewhere if you want
to go dig it up. But it was back when
people were really really antime meat, as if they're not
now a lot of people, just not as many people
and not as many smart people. They figured it out

(16:05):
that they kind of need the protein. But the bottom
line was somebody rode in to the editorial page to say,
and I'll paraphrase here because it's not worth going back
and looking up. She said something about how she wished
everybody would just get their meat from the grocery store,
so no animals have to be killed to make it.

Speaker 7 (16:29):
So.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
And this was presumably a grown person. Did that, yes, Melvin,
So how are we supposed to get the meat?

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, they this person and I'm sure a lot of
others back then, they were all against hurting any animal
for anything. They actually believed that meat could just magically
appear at the grocery store. But it didn't come from
animals somehow?

Speaker 7 (16:56):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah, how off the track is that train? Oh my gosh,
that's like Twilight zones.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
I know it really is?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
It just and there's a lot of that.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Going on right now, a whole lot of that going
on right now in this country where people have been
told the same life so many times. Did they believe
it to be true? That's it's frustrating. Let me just
go talk to Mike. He's always a level headed dude.
What's up, Mike, morning, young man, Good morning.

Speaker 8 (17:26):
How are you doing this morning?

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Very well man, But I'm not dove hunting, so I'm
a little bit miffed.

Speaker 8 (17:31):
Well, got a quick story for you, okay. Who says
you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Even has a title too?

Speaker 8 (17:39):
Go ahead, went and tried out my new shotgun out
of ACS, and I worked at the pattern and links
and how far my limitation goes. Got back home clean,
put away, got you know, put it with my gear
to go next? What fourteenth? Y?

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah, south zone fourteenth.

Speaker 8 (18:04):
Woke up the next morning and my trigger finger was
locked in the pool as if Oh no. I went
to the doctor, said I have a flexer tender tendon problem. Yeah,
a trigger finger. Yeah, So I went back to ACS
and got a couple of ideas in a couple of
ways of shooting with my middle finger.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Now, oh wow, so workaround it.

Speaker 8 (18:29):
Yeah, it'll be a new experience and I'm looking forward
to a new hunt.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah what what gun did you buy?

Speaker 8 (18:37):
Maretta with a interchangeable twelve twenty eight and twenty Oh wow?

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Nice? Good for you?

Speaker 7 (18:44):
Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Well, I was going to say I had a good exchange.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
I was talking to Jerry down there at Jerry TK
at Shooter's Corner when I was down there the other day,
and he and I, I like a twenty eight he was.
He actually showed me a twenty eight that he's going
to buy from himself. Basically that he fell in love
with a little breatta gun. I believe it was as well.
And but we talked about calibers and what to shoot

(19:10):
and whatnot. And I would agree with him that all
around a sixteen gauge is probably as good as you
could get for all around shooting. But I would be
concerned now, Jerry, I told Jerry, I said, yeah, I
would agree with you. It's a great it's a great gauge. However,

(19:30):
it's hard to get, Ammo. And he goes, no, not really,
And I'm thinking, Jerry, you own a gun store, you
can just you can call and order a palette of
sixteen gauge shells and put them in the back just
for your personal use. Uh, we know you and I
don't have that option. So but I do like a
twenty eight and that's that's just so fun to shoot it,

(19:51):
really is?

Speaker 8 (19:53):
It swings a lot easier than my twelve sedutory.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Well, yeah, I'm sure it does. Yeah, we're not getting
any younger.

Speaker 8 (19:59):
Are we, My No, No, the meat on the bone
is going too.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Every time every time I pick up I got a
story as well, and I've had it since the late seventies,
and every time I pick it up, it just it
seems like somebody's dropped a little fishing wait down the barrel.

Speaker 8 (20:16):
Man, I hear you all right for I'll let you go.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
Have a good day, my pleasure.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, thanks thanks for calling him, Mike. I appreciate you, buddy.

Speaker 9 (20:24):
How do you ah?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
He just wanted to brag about his new gun, you
know he did. Yeah, I got me a nice little
BARRETTA twenty eight. Yeah, I love that caliber. I've done.
I've actually done some dove hunting with four tens and
that's fun as well. You have to be dialed in
and you you can't expect to go too long a
range with that gun, but over a stock tank or

(20:50):
something like that, where you're gonna get some lollipop shots
coming in, little birds coming in and slowing down. It's
a lot of fun, man, a lot of fun. Let
me kick check in with in here before we get
to the break. Hey Brandon, what's up, buddy?

Speaker 5 (21:03):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (21:04):

I like that man. He's turned off and it turned
into a really, really good, good pitcher.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
I liked what he's doing all year.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
All of our guys who have had to step up,
knock on, knock on wood, all the guys who have
had to step up have in that pitching rotation, and
we're darned lucky because a couple of those guys could
have gone the other way too.

Speaker 6 (22:36):
You know.

Speaker 12 (22:38):
Yeah, Hey, did you see who got hit on the
butt on the foot?

a gamer. He's kind of like he's kind of like Bregman.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
He wants to be in the game.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't think he wants days off, and I frankly
I don't want him to get days off right now.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
We need to put the best players we've got.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
On the field.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Get down, man, arranging. He taught me arranging.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
You're running in some pretty tall company there, man, some
guys who can tickle the ivories, as it were. He
also did some work for the Sonny and Sham Show.
Hell wow, yeah, okay, that elevates his credentials certainly. All right,
very quickly, Alan, let me tell you what. I'm gonna

(24:27):
go to Rick firston and Alan, I'm gonna get back
to your question. You sent me over the break. Okay,
but let me get I want to I like phone calls.
I want to hear from you guys. What's up?

Speaker 7 (24:36):
Rick? Hey?

Speaker 14 (24:38):
Man, So we're, uh, we're doing something today, but I
mean it's raining now hopefully won't still stop. But we're
taking one of my son's friends and his father dove
hunt for the first time today.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Outstanding, how much shooting experience do they have?

Speaker 7 (24:56):
Practices? They've never They don't have hardly anything. Okay, gonna
be more like shooting that doves and do it.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
But you know that's okay, that's great, Ricks.

Speaker 14 (25:05):
It's pretty experience, right, and so you know we've been
to the range a couple of times and we've shot
some clays and and things and uh so, so we'll
give it a go. Sure, man, I got to thinking
listen to you this morning, is you know they're on
a bird hunt. They're not necessarily on a dove hunt,
so to say, so, what would happen hypothetically? You know,

(25:25):
let's say we shoot more white wings and we're supposed.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
To you know, a couple of killdeers a redtail.

Speaker 14 (25:33):
Yeah, you know, because these are going to get excited
when they see one they're gonna be like, oh oh hey, don't.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Blow them down. Well, you get your responsibility, and it's
not ultimately your responsibility, it's theirs because they're the one
holding the shotgun. But your job as the teacher is
going to be to teach them patients along with enthusiasm,
because they can't be shooting the wrong target. And I
guarantee you there are game war from every county that

(26:01):
doesn't have any doves right now. Their game wardens are
in counties that do have the doves, and if somebody
takes the wrong bird, they're just gonna have to suffer
the consequences. I would I taught my son this a
long time ago. I would rather have you not shoot
at a bird than shoot the wrong bird, because that's
just gonna mess you up and get you in trouble
and and sour you on the whole experience. If if

(26:24):
either one of them gets a ticket today because they
shot the wrong bird, they're not gonna like hunting very much.

Speaker 15 (26:30):
You'll just tell me, patient, Well, I take responsibility, But
even so, just the excitement, you know, oh yeah, and
we've all been there, and you know, so I don't know,
it's just what I'm like one of many concerns I
have taking new hunters out well for the first time.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, and here as as an as the experienced hunter
in the group, your your primary job today probably ought
to be to keep them kind of close together and
then stand behind them and and tell them, Okay, this
bird coming on the left, that's that's fair game, man,
y'all knock that bird down, or or okay.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
This one coming straight at us.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Don't shoot him because it'll cost you about two hundred dollars,
and and just teach him up right, and you're you're
excited about dove hunting and you're doing it right. They'll
be just as excited once once they get out there
and kind of get settled in and see what the
cadence is and how it works. Don't don't, no, don't, don't.
Don't already start talking about what if they shoot the

(27:30):
wrong bird. Don't let them shoot the wrong bird. And
I know accidents happened, game wardens, no accidents happen, all
of that, but just wouldn't it be better if you
guys come home with six lawfully taken doves today than
two kildeers and a robin and a meadow lark. You
know sure, all right, experience for both of us.

Speaker 14 (27:51):
I've never brought inexperience hunters, and yeah, I've never been.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
So well, and that didn't The ninety five percent of
your your mission today is going to be gun safety
nine gun safety, five percent birds.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
So if you if you go at it that way,
you'll be all right.

Speaker 7 (28:08):
Man, all right, I'm not even bringing one.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
I'm not even bringing one today, not.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Bringing a gun.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
You're oh, man, you're smarter than I thought you were.
Already there you go.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's why, like, if you're taking kids fishing, leave your
rod at home because otherwise they're just now you're competing
against them. Yeah, you got it all figured out already. Rick,
You're in good shape. Man, don't worry. Send me send
me a recap by email if you would. That'd be awesome.
I will, all right, man to do that.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
Man.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, thank you, sir, Good luck. I'll see audios. All right,
we got to take a little break here.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety say Houston sports Fan
on air and on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Back to the Doug Fike Show.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Welcome back to jazz Fest.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Who's that?

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Who's that? McCoy tyner?

Speaker 16 (28:59):
Okay, very nice, very very nice. It's jazz day. We're
all jazzed up about dove hunting. That's that's how we'll
tie that in, Melvin. There's got to be a way
we go.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
There we go that we'll work with that, all right, Alan,
Alan weighing in about my preference of dove gun And
at this point, I'm perfectly content shooting twenty gauge. I'm
confident enough with my shooting. And honestly, if you're any

(29:30):
kind of a shot at all, twelve or twenty isn't
gonna make as big a difference to how many doves
you bring home as it is to just what you're
lugging around in the field. And I prefer at this
point a lighter gun a little bit, and shaving the
weight of a twelve down to weight of a twenty

(29:52):
doesn't hurt my feelings at all. If you want to
make sure you get maximum performance out of that gun,
make sure you've got the right choke tube in it.
Back when I first started hunting, there was no option
for a choke tube until Jess Briley and his successors
came along. Jess Briley from Bridley Manufacturing. He long since past,

(30:16):
but he started making choke tubes in his garage, and
that's probably the single best thing that ever happened to
shotgunning in a long long time, because it enabled you
to kind of change on the fly. For example, even
in the field, you could change if you expected birds
to be flying low and close to you. You could

(30:37):
use a more open choke if you got into the
field and suddenly the birds were flying thirty five forty
yards high and you needed something dialed in a little
tighter to keep a good pattern up that high, and
just changed choke tubes right there, right then, right there.
It takes about two minutes to change a choke tube,
and that's it. I do prefer for dove hunting. I've

(31:02):
got a side by side twenty gauge that I bought
many years ago from Joe Doggett, a little browning gun
that I absolutely love. But I also have an eight
seventy twenty gauge. I've got another little twenty gauge semi
auto gun, and I enjoy shooting all of them. And

(31:25):
I'll still drag my Storiat It's twelve gage. That was
my pigeon gun. I still drag it out from time
to time I don't take it into a goose field
because it's just I don't want to beat the gun
up anymore than I have to out there hunting. I
still I look at my guns as tools. They're they're
not works of art. I haven't invested crazy money in

(31:47):
guns because for that very reason, they're they're just working
parts of what I like to do. And so I
don't want to be I don't want to be out
there being overly careful about getting a little scratch on a.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Gun, yes or on average in your o scenery, how
many and what type of guns should you have? There
is no limit. There is no limit.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
And even like talking about shotguns people, there are people
who buy one shotgun, one rifle, and one handgun and
call it a day because they've got all three bases covered.
And then there are people I know, I know who
have dozens, if not more than one hundred guns in

(32:40):
safes all over their homes because they're just collectors, and
they they'll take them all to the range, they'll shoot
them all over the course of a year. Oh, side
by side, Allens's side by side, Come on, man, Yeah,
it's a cool little gun.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
I like it.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
And so there are you have.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
The option was the entry level option is a single
shot shot gun very inexpensive. Back when I was growing up,
you could get a single shot twelve gage for about
forty nine dollars. Wow, Now it's gonna cost you about
one hundred hundred and a half somewhere in there.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
And you're not gonna get beautiful carved wood. You're just
gonna get You're just gonna get a functioning gun. From there,
you go to the pump guns. From there, you go
either to the two barreled guns, the over under or
the side by side, or you go to semi automatic guns.

(33:37):
And from there you just splinter off into hundreds of
variations on each and so there are just almost unlimited
choices for guns. And the the finer the craftsmanship, the
finer the engraving, the finer the materials they use to

(33:58):
make that gun, all all of the bells and whistles
that they can put on a shotgun, which to the
average person would look like.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Just another gun. The more they put on there, the
more it costs.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Because there's better workmanship, there's better quality materials. There's some
beautiful wood you can put in a stock, or you
can go to synthetic stocks.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
There's all of these different things. And the same with rifles.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
There are virtually unlimited options in the stock you put
on there, and the barrel and the receiver, all of
these things have different levels of participation, which makes it
I'd be scared to guess how many options there are
for guns in the world. In the world, and again,

(34:47):
the shotgun cost starts at about probably about ninety one
hundred bucks for a single shot, twelve gage shotgun or
twenty gags, whatever you want to get, and it goes
up to some of the gun that I've handled in
safes wearing gloves that are also they're intended to be used.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Out hunting and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
But these guns, some of the fine English guns, some
of the fine Italian guns. You're looking at two hundred
grand two point fifty for a shotgun for one gun,
get out of here. And I've talked to some of
the people who know more about these than I do.
And in many cases people will the people who who

(35:33):
do business at that level will come in and say, oh,
two hundred apiece, Yeah, make me a set. And by
a set they mean a four to ten, a twenty eight,
a sixteen or twenty, a sixteen.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
And a twelve.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
They're buying five. They all matched, all matching serial numbers.
They're buying five of them. So they and what they
do is they put them in a safe, or maybe
they have him at there at the shooting facility on
their estate or something like that, or maybe they take
them quail hunting. In South Texas, I don't know. I

(36:10):
watched a guy throw about a ten thousand dollars shot
gun about eight or nine feet in the air barrel
first into a trash barrel because he had just missed
a shot that cost him a lot of money, had
a pigeon shoot.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Wow, he just tossed it in the trash. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 13 (36:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well, we dug it out for him, and in about
in about fifteen seconds, he kind of went, wait a minute,
what did I just do? And he kind of went
over there and started talking to his gun home.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I hope you're okay. Unfortunately, there was enough stuff at
the bottom of the cab in it. It scratched up
the forest oc but that's about it. He got lucky.
Oh my god, did he ever?

Speaker 12 (36:54):
Man?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
He could have he could have damaged the end of
the barrel and that would have been the end of
that gun. But he had to go get a new
or whatever. Oh I'll tell you what. Yeah, I got
time for brick bikes. Let's get him on here, hold on,
let me. I'm just yapping away and I look down
and see you there. What's up?

Speaker 17 (37:07):
Rick? Well?

Speaker 9 (37:10):
Our conversation yesterday off air, I have flyfishing lesson this morning?

Speaker 11 (37:16):
How to go?

Speaker 9 (37:18):
It didn't Clayton text me this morning said don't come,
it's too wendy. Oh wow, and it is wendy ten
to twelve.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Yeah, it's even more on the coach.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
I was looking at that earlier.

Speaker 9 (37:33):
Yeah, anyway, so we we put it off till this week.
Talking about your guns, I've got all the gauges. Yeah,
I've got to where I stay completely away from the
twelves because I just, I just I can't take beating anymore.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, if you're gonna do a lot of shooting, yeah,
I go down to twenty. If I'm gonna go shoot
sporting plays or something, unless there's some kind of a competition,
I'll go back to twelve then.

Speaker 9 (38:02):
But I've got twenty twenty eight four ten My everyday
gun and a carry with me is a four to
ten double burrow. Oh wow, it's just my tow down.
But when I go buy shotguns, I've always had I
buy the cheapest one I can buy.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Oh wow, yeah, because it's a tool.

Speaker 9 (38:21):
I don't want to be able to throw the back
of the truck until everybody mounts around.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
That's why we shot out nothing, almost nothing, but eight
seventy wing Masters back when I was gotten.

Speaker 9 (38:29):
Well, I know, I've got a whole closet full of them.
I'll bet the all of my rifles. That's a different story.
They are very well maintained and very very protected.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah, well then that's good reason.

Speaker 9 (38:43):
In my truck or for all kinds of things. But yeah, no,
there they But no, I've got shotguns that are absolutely gorgeous,
taking enough space, and don't use them because I don't
want to scratch them up, no doubt, I've you know,
real hunting synthetic is great. Good. Hey, it's it's cheap.

(39:08):
I do buy something that you know would stop with force,
but they're cheap.

Speaker 11 (39:13):
Yeah, anyway, I'm with you on that, all right.

Speaker 9 (39:18):
Yeah, it's to me, like you said, it's just too
I just want to beat it up around, you know,
before to try to ram a tire off my buggy.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, yeah, I'm the same way. When I was guying,
I'd use them for pride bars, use them to close fences,
did a hammer, just to find anything you needed. You
could turn it if you can. You can turn a
shot gun into it, if you've got any imagination. Just
make sure it's unloaded.

Speaker 9 (39:41):
I got I got to go here, get my dove,
hunt and go. And I told everybody, you know what
to do, where to go or not to I told
everybody stay at least one hundred and fifty feet away
from the fences. There's plenty of cover inside brush, piles, trees.
I don't want them shooting the bird in it. I
don't want him on the fence land and shoot the
birdy goes across the fence and then they go over

(40:03):
to the fence.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Yeah, I know, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (40:05):
Number one deal is, don't cross the fences on the
neighbor's property. And if it does go over the fence,
well you just wasted a bird. I mean, we're not
even gonna go We're not going to get that. You're
not going to do not go across that all right, Hey,
I gotta run, Rick, I gotta go, buddy.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
As this is the Doug Pike Show, brought to you
by American Shooting Centers, Guns, Shooting and Instruction since nineteen
eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Now here's Doug Pike.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Hi, welcome back, Thanks for listening. I certainly do appreciate it.
Before I get to the tour championship, And a little
question I want to ask all of you.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
I want to catch up with Bob. He waded through
that break, Bob, what's up?

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Buddy?

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Hey, Hey, Doug, I'm going to Heaven. Talked to you
in a long time. Just to jog your memory. We
went out and shot a Greater Houston gun a number
of years ago.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
But anyway, remember.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Two high end shotgun stories. One is there's a guy
that I shoot with sometimes out at at Greater Houston
and he has an interesting sort of matched matched pair
of different of different gauges he's got. He uses the
same stock, but he has barrels made for twelve.

Speaker 11 (41:28):
Twenty, sixteen, twenty eight and and yeah and fourteen.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yeah, that's a popular way to do that.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
What he go ahead, But what he what he does
is is he's had the barrels made so that they
all weigh the same.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Oh wow, Okay, yeah that's smart.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
Is that interesting?

Speaker 11 (41:49):
When I saw that, it's like, god, Lee, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
It's like the same gun.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
I like that a whole lot. Holy case exactly, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (41:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:57):
I agree.

Speaker 11 (41:58):
The second one is that a woman that I know
was a realtor for a guy in Houston.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
The man died and he was selling the she was
selling the house for the estate, and they had a
whole bunch of stuff and he had been a pretty
big hunter, and so she invited me and about three
other guys to come over to see if we wanted
to buy some of his hunting paraphernalia, and and he
got some I got some interesting buys from it.

Speaker 11 (42:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Unfortunately my waistline was too big to fit into his
plus fours, or I would have I.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
Would have really liked to have bought some of that stuff.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Anyway, So we're looking at some of his guns and
we opened and there's this there's this match stet of parties. Okay,
so we're all we're we're all Texas boys.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
We knows ver hunting in the UK or anything.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Like that, And so we look at it and we
can't and we can't figure out why the hell do
they have two different, you know, same exact guns in there.
And about a week later I called, I texted all
the guys. I said, of course he has two match
pairs in there. He goes doesn't hunting, and he has

(43:06):
a guy and he has a reloader and he's using
and he's shooting the exact same gun.

Speaker 11 (43:11):
Oh you know, he's hand he hands one to the
guy and.

Speaker 9 (43:16):
He loads it.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Sure, he hands in one that's loaded so he can shoot.

Speaker 10 (43:20):
Must have been could be him in the day, you know, Yeah,
I mean, you know, he was an ambassador to UH
in the Bush administration, the first Bush administration.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Also, so yes, he he had he had some coint Anyway,
I thought it was like, that's fascinating man with the
box that the box that he had his guns in
probably costs more than.

Speaker 9 (43:42):
Some of the gun the shotguns that I have, because
I have exactly.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
What you know, I started with a sixteen, you know,
remonton pump, and i got now twenty and i got twelve,
and then I've got I've got my over and under.

Speaker 11 (43:56):
Its just sort of like you do.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
Also, but there's there are tools for me, thank you
very much.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Rod's a great story man. Thank you, Boba. How about that? Yeah,
the guns he's talking about are and doing it the
way that man did it is reserved for those of
us who those of anybody else, not me, who can
just walk into any place and say I'll take three
of those and not even ask. And it's fascinating and

(44:25):
it's fun to be around that because and when if
you get around fine shotguns like that, you can, certainly
if you're a hunter at all, if you're a shooter
at all, you can appreciate the workmanship in them. You
can appreciate what's been done to make them worth that
much money. And they are worth it, They are worth it.
But dog gone, I'd be scared to scratch one up.

(44:46):
I'm like most of us. That's a tool for me,
and I agree with Rick. I think a shotgun can
take a lot more abuse than a rifle. A rifle
has to be precise with that one projectile out to two, three, four,
one hundred yards. A shot gun does all its work
within really effectively. Unless you're shooting slugs a deer, maybe

(45:09):
it does all its effective work out to about maybe
fifty to fifty five yards, and I wouldn't want to
talk about shooting any farther than that. And by the way,
if you're wondering how far up, I used to get
guys all the time when I was guiding. Oh yeah,
I can shoot does at seventy yards straight up. That's
stratospheric and it's almost impossible. And at one point I

(45:31):
had some guys come out one afternoon and I had
gotten hold somehow of a little helium tank, and I
took some balloons out there onto the prairie on a
calm day, and I would have these guys walk off
seventy steps and blow up a balloon, tie it to
the end of that balloon, and then you're standing there
and you let that balloon go, and when it gets
seventy yards off the ground, it looks like the head

(45:55):
of a pin. Seventy yards straight up is farther than
most people where they're probably they're probably shooting birds at
forty five maybe, And that's a that's a stretch. Even
if you don't if you don't really know how to
shoot up there, and you don't have the right choke
and the gun, all you're doing is just praying for
some random pellet to hit that bird in a very

(46:17):
vulnerable area, because by the time it gets that high,
it's lost a lot of velocity too. Let mean, yes,
I got him, Hey, bible something man. Oh hey, Doug,
love your show, buddy, thank you. Hey, listen, I was
just listening to POB and.

Speaker 18 (46:33):
Y'all were talking about the shotgun that had all the
same weighted barrels?

Speaker 13 (46:37):
Right it right? Did he?

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Oh, you're breaking up? Start your question again?

Speaker 13 (46:45):
Did he say what kind of shotgun that was? He
didn't have all the weighted barrels.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
He didn't, But I can tell you that whatever it was, uh,
it could be done. That could be matched by a
really good gunsmith. And I'm talking about somebody who builds shotguns,
not just somebody who who replaces barrels. It would be
it would be a question I would ask somebody like
Jerry t. K down there at Shooter's corner and how

(47:12):
how could what could he do to make all these
barrels weigh the same? And they've got to be balanced
the same too. You can't just you can't just hang
a brick off the end of the barrel and make
it the same. Though it would be right, it would
be a lot of work in engineering to to make
it feel exactly the same. Just close your eyes and
pick up all four barrels and have them all feel
the same. But boy, that'd be kind of fun.

Speaker 13 (47:34):
Man. That just sounded really really smart.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
When I heard that, I can't wait to win lottery.

Speaker 18 (47:41):
I'll tell you something I did to my eight seventy
wing master. I was doing some deer hunting work. I
could only use a slug Oh wow.

Speaker 13 (47:48):
And I'm glad.

Speaker 18 (47:48):
I talked to a fellow behind the counter and I
won't say where, and he would hunt up with his
daughters every year.

Speaker 13 (47:57):
And and Remington makes the rifles slug barrel, that barrel
that you yeah, And I bought one and put a
loophole scope on it.

Speaker 18 (48:07):
And man, I'm gonna tell you that thing. I can
hit a dime at one hundred yards, yes, sir, Yes, sir.
I took it up to Carter Structure up there at
tresh Wig where you go. Yeah, and uh, man, I
started shooting that thing and they were all crowding around
me that wanted to know what I had.

Speaker 7 (48:23):
It was hilarious, man.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Just running home.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Uh you at one hundred yards, you're running holes the
size of a nickel right in the middle of the dog.

to shoot shot guns at deer will shoot buckshot if
you're and maybe you have to shoot it running deer.
I don't know, but that slug, a twelve gage slug
coming out of there down a rifle barrel is gonna
shoot pretty dog on straight and it's it's stop a

Yeah it does. You're right, all right, Let's get to
a couple of phone call real quick. Holding longest would
be Matthew Charles hang on, what's up? Matthew?

Speaker 11 (50:06):
I'm doing well, Doug? How you doing?

Speaker 12 (50:08):
Bud?

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Very well? Thank you?

Speaker 2 (50:09):
What's up?

Speaker 11 (50:10):
I'm sorry I ain't been listening. I've been in church.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Don't make apologies for that.

Speaker 11 (50:17):
Was the coffee game this morning.

Speaker 7 (50:18):
It is good.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
In fact, I forgot to get another cup coming back in,
So go ahead.

Speaker 19 (50:23):
I'm just curious that's your thoughts. I know it's Opening day.
In my thoughts and prayers go out to everybody out there.
Just practice gun safety when you're out there. Of course,
you know, you know, every episode or segment you do
on gun safety, do another one.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah, I'm safety Sam if nobody else.

Speaker 11 (50:48):
But I'm just curious, that's your thoughts.

Speaker 12 (50:51):
Maybe you can settle a debate and this has been
raging in the woodlands now for about a week.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Okay, I'm trounce.

Speaker 11 (51:00):
What's the better fighting fish? Reds or specks? And I
just sent you. I emailed you a picture of the
red eye got cut the other day in my secret spot.

Speaker 9 (51:10):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 12 (51:12):
I've been catching gosh, it feels like I've been catching
the same guppy for the last week.

Speaker 11 (51:16):
But I'm on my thanking the lord because I live
in I know a secret spot, and I live in
a great place where I can catch anything I want.
That's your thought.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
So reds or trouse strictly as a fighting fish.

Speaker 11 (51:32):
That's correct on all things being eg on light.

Speaker 12 (51:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Sure, we're gonna use the same rod and reel. We're
gonna do it all the same pound for pound, ounce
for ounce. The red fish is kind of like a bulldog,
and the trout is kind of like a Yorkshire terrier.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
Okay, the trout just go crazy.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
They're gonna bounce and jump and do all kinds of
crazy things to try to shake that hook out of
their mouths. The red fish is just gonna try for
all it's worth pound for pound to just empty your reel.
They're just gonna swim away from you as hard as
they can. And if they win, they win, and if
they don't, they don't. But that trout jumping, Yeah, it's

(52:12):
a jumper, and that's that's a big deal to a
lot of people. If you wanna, if you want to
experience the best of both worlds, go find some snook. Now,
then that's a different yeah. But around here, Uh, they're different.
They're different fish. But they fight hard. They both fight
hard to get away. And the only way they know
how or how to do it best. The trout's gonna

(52:33):
open that big mouth and shake those gills back and forth.
And that red fish is just gonna put his nose
down and just swim away from you.

Speaker 12 (52:42):
And as an ethical angler, and I was having this
discussion the other day, as an ethyl ethical angler, if
it swallows the hook and there's no cleaning station nearby,
but you got a knife in your bag, what are
you what.

Speaker 11 (52:58):
You got to bring that home? Put it in or
frying cam?

Speaker 9 (53:00):
Whether what do you?

Speaker 11 (53:01):
What are you supposed to do?

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Lost of law?

Speaker 11 (53:05):
I mean, you can't.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
You can't cut it up and have filets on your boat.
That'll get you in trouble every time.

Speaker 11 (53:11):
But and I'm walking, I'm walking in the middle of
the swamp river.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Well, I mean, if it's if it's an unlawful fish,
if it's too short, if it's too long, if it's
whatever it is, it says it's not legal to take
it home, then it's not legal to take it home,
and you have to just throw it back in the
water and wish it well. Uh and nix. This goes
back to my barblous hook argument. You smash the barbs down.

(53:38):
It's it's hard to it's hard to get a hook
to stay in a fish. Once you get the plyers
on it, it's very easy to get it out. Even
if it's down in the throat. You can manipulate it
without ripping the whole throat out of a fish because
there's no barb to tear stuff up on the way
back out. And I also, if it hits you, it's
not gonna hurt you. Hey, I gotta run, man, I

(53:59):
gotta go check a couple more. Yeah, thank you, thanks
for the call.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
See Matthew.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Yeah, trout and reds totally different fights. I love them both.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna pick one over the other.

Speaker 12 (54:12):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
The redfish is stronger the the speckled trout.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
More acrobatic, and the acrobatics I think are what draw
a lot of us to them. Plus they're just so
cool looking. When they get big, a big, a big
red fish just looks like somebody who ate too much pizza.
A big speckled trout looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger or the Rock.
What's up, Charles, Hi, Doug, Here are you doing, sir?

(54:40):
I'm good, thank you.

Speaker 7 (54:42):
Oh yeah, I'm just going to give you a quick update.

Speaker 14 (54:46):
We got a group of guys hunting about ten miles
out of you Valde do Yeah, and uh, they said
everybody got their limit pretty quick this morning. Goods that
the ones that weren't going this afternoon, they they got
their living. The ones that could not go, they finally
got their limits, but they're done for the day.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
Good for them, man, good for them.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Yeah, I told, I told Melvin when I when I
saw this one come up, I said, these guys got birds.
I knew down that way, man, there were there. I
heard a couple of really good reports and that just
that just bears it out.

Speaker 7 (55:23):
Oh it does, I know. And I couldn't go this weekend.
Another group.

Speaker 14 (55:29):
We got a group of about thirty that's been going
every year, and half the group's gonna go next week
and the other half went this weekend. So but anybody
that's heading out to out west Texas, it's it's good
hunting right now.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
Good good, good good.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
I'm glad to hear that. I told Rick Bise there
there are doves in Texas. They're just not where he's
driving around. He just needs to drive in a different direction.
That's all he gotta do.

Speaker 7 (55:52):
All right, man, Well, you know we're going. We're going.

Speaker 14 (55:55):
Like I said, in a couple of weeks, we're gonna
stay in Concam We're gonna hunt in the mornings and
play golf over at the Concam A country Club.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 14 (56:02):
Holy cow, No, it's it didn't kind of spoil you
to come back back home to go to work.

Speaker 7 (56:08):
All right, man, anyway, do y'all have a great day.
I'm just giving you all.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Yeah, I think I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
I'm looking for all I can find, man audios, All right,
let's go talk to faux pro.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
See what's up?

Speaker 10 (56:20):
Man?

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Are you fishing today?

Speaker 17 (56:22):
I'll tell you what days like this are the reasons
I wish I have in a lake front house, because
it looks like the bottom's gonna fall out of it.
But I feel like I need to be out there
throwing a black buzzbait.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
All day, don't you though?

Speaker 11 (56:32):
Man?

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Yeah, I make it the other way.

Speaker 13 (56:34):
It looks black.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Mm hm, pressure just dropping like a stone.

Speaker 17 (56:38):
Man. Yes, I'm watching these other faux pros on TV
Fish After, but I hadn't had a little uh and
you're watching these live scopis. Oh my god, I like
to I like to watch the bake beaters. I can't
watch these live scopers. I use it, but I hate
to watch it. But uh, a little quick, little uh
kind of faux pro hunting tip. I mean I did

(56:59):
God for I don't know, twenty twenty five years duck
coming up here to the Living cit and Liberty and
some other area lakes and sure, but uh, you know,
my first experienced waterfowl hunting was, oh my god, forty
two years ago. Oh man, And you can remember what
water looked like forty two years ago? Yeah, yeah I do. Actually, yeah,

(57:20):
we're out there at the wall rice fields at Uh.
I'm fifteen years old. And uh, my dad, the way
he started me out, he gave me a breakover twenty
gauge single shot.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
Wow.

Speaker 17 (57:30):
He said, you only gonna shoot one time. You're gonna
think about what you shoot at before you shoot. It
made me a pretty crack shot as I got older.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Yeah, that's a really good way to bring kids ups
on a single shot because if they if they can
load three, they're gonna shoot three exactly.

Speaker 17 (57:43):
Boom boom boom every time.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
Yep.

Speaker 17 (57:46):
So we're sitting there as me and him and my
brother in law sitting there sitting in the rice patties
in the water, and you know, he had the morning,
big big goose, you know, goose roots and snows and
stuff like that. But down one hundred and fifty yards
from us was just a low spot of the field,
and I kept seeing these ducks go down.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
Man.

Speaker 17 (58:03):
So I told my dad, I said, I said, what's
that down there? He goes, that's ducks. I said, can
we shoot ducks? He said, well, yeah, you can shoot ducks.
I said, can I go down there and shoot them?
You can go down there, but there's.

Speaker 13 (58:13):
Three of us.

Speaker 17 (58:14):
Just shoot three ducks, because that's back when they had
the point system whatever it was. He goes, whatever you shoot,
just shoot three. I don't care if it's three different ducks.
Shoot three, bring them back. Well look at it. You
can go back down there. So I would dowt. I say, okay,
I'm gonna go at it. That's no decoys another they
were just there so old down there. So I shoot
three ducks.

Speaker 7 (58:30):
All looked alike.

Speaker 17 (58:31):
I said, man, he's a cool looking ducks. Maybe one
for the wall. And on the way back here you're
walking back to the ditch and they were shooting. They
started shooting at something I don't know what, and here
you come cruising ten feet off the bank right at me.
It was a lesser Canada. I pulled up shot it.
So now go back with the goose and three ducks.
And I just happened to shoot three pintail drakes and
that's when you could shoot one per person.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Oh my word.

Speaker 17 (58:54):
He goes, well, go back down there, don't shoot no
more of these. And I'm like, I'm just gonna stay
here with y'all because I'm not that good at that.
If i I'm gonna shoot whatever comes here.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Because yeah, you know that used to scare us all
when we would have Teal come buzzing, the buzzing the
blinds early and just you know when they right when
they get to you and they kind of they figure
you out. They'll be there'd be fifty teal and they
would just all ball up like bait fish out there
trying to run away from a sailfish. You know, a
bunch of sardines running from a sailfish, and they all

(59:23):
ball up together. And it used to drive me crazy
because the limits are the limits, and these guys would
raise up and shoot one time and knock down like
five ducks.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
Like holy cow, man, you can't. You got to learn
to not do that.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Just get the one that that separates itself from the herd,
and then take that one out at a time.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Make the hunt last longer than one shot.

Speaker 13 (59:47):
You know.

Speaker 17 (59:47):
We had a gat trip years ago on liverson no
dir teal season and I told the guy and he
was a friend of mine, es but he paid for
gas and bought lunch type of trip, and I told him,
I said, there's big groups of teal out here, you know, five, ten, twenty.
I say, if you see singles, doubles, triples, or quadruples,
don't shoot until you know. So here comes the double
booby shoots with duck. Here comes a triple bove I said,

(01:00:11):
I said, if you shoot your gun one more time?
With why I say shoot?

Speaker 13 (01:00:13):
That said?

Speaker 17 (01:00:14):
I said that wood ducks are thick up there. Sure, sure,
but you got you got it, I learned as I
got older, identified ducks. But you'll start out with that
single shot twenty gauge and was away for me to go.

Speaker 18 (01:00:25):
It was good.

Speaker 17 (01:00:25):
I had fun and been put thunder every since.

Speaker 7 (01:00:27):
But uh, but I'll leave you with this.

Speaker 17 (01:00:29):
I know your dad joke kind of guy, A little
bit so so so why did why did the old
man fall down the well?

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (01:00:37):
You couldn't see that well?

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
God, alright, faux pro all right, but let you go,
oh lordy, oh LORDI mercy. Yeah, single shot the best
way to teach uh a young person to respect the

(01:01:00):
value of the ammunition and to become a better shot.
Buy them a single shot shotgun and make them buy
their own AMMO and let them just say go buy
if you want to go duck hunting, we'll go duck hunting.
Go buy yourself a box of duckloads. And when they
get out there and they realize those shells are costing
them about a buck apiece, they're not going to be

(01:01:22):
so fast bang, bang bang.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
And that's that I had a lot of kids.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
When a lot of kids come hunting when I was
guiding out there, and their dads would give them a
pump shot gun or even a semi auto, maybe eleven
hundred or something like that. Load three, shoot three almost
every time, even at one bird, just bang, bang bang.
And why did you shoot three times? You hit him
on the first shot, you just smoked it. Well, I
wanted to make sure he wasn't going to get away. Well,

(01:01:49):
the hitting the ground should have been your first indication
that you were done, which just that one shot. In
any event, we are gonna shift gears. We're gonna get
out of here for a break. On the way back
or when we come back, I'm going to get to
that Tour Championship I've been promising to talk about because
I want to ask you guys a question about the
format of the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety Houston, Sports online at
sports seven ninety dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Back to the Doug Pike Show. Now we're scat man.
We're just covering it all.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
Wait to govern who was that Sarah Sar Oh wow?

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Autumn leaves. Okay, I'm with you. Hold, I got to
send you something that faux pro just sent me emmy
LV Okay, I got that. I'm just gonna shoot it
straight over to you with no message or any of that.
You'll understand. I'm sure he told you it was coming.
Seven one seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
Email me Dougpike at aheartmedia dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Let's talk about the FedEx Cup Championship and the Tour
Championship and all of that going on over at east
Lake and let me get it up here. Come on,
wake up, computer. That's not what I want. There's what
I want right there. So right now, if you knew
nothing else about this tournament other than that it was
a golf tournament, you'd be thinking to yourself, Holy cow,

(01:03:21):
how is Scotty Scheffler so far ahead of the field
and how has he shot twenty six under par through
just three rounds of play? Well it's pretty simple, really. Actually,
this is the third round and now I'm getting myself confused.
Now we're all good. I see Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah,

(01:03:43):
this is round three they're going through now. And the
amazing part, let me get the whole leaderboard up here,
and I can make a lot more sense of it
when I start reading to you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
So there are three rounds through. Today is round four.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
I don't know why I was thinking the other way.
Here we go Scotty Scheffler at twenty six under par
because he started the way these rules play in at
ten under par, and in Colin Moore, Kalas, he Thgala,
Xander Shaffley, Wyndham Clark round out the top five. They

(01:04:16):
are at.

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
Twenty six as for Scheffler.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Twenty one more Kalas seventeen under par, for Thigala, Shaffley
is at sixteen, and Wyndham Clark is at fifteen, and
nobody else in that field has a snowball chance.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Well, Adam Scott's also at fifteen. He's not going to
catch Scotty Scheffler. Scheffler's going to run away with it.
It's going to be all, honestly a little bit on
the boring side.

Speaker 9 (01:04:40):
So here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
When you look at the the kickoff, all of these
guys started, they're thirty guys playing. The top five would
have been Scheffler, Shawfley, matsu Yama, Bradley.

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
And Aberg Oberg.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
Excuse me, it's spelled with an A and it's pronounced
as no because there's a little accent markover All of
those guys started at ten under par, eight under par, seven,
six and five under par.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
The top five did. Because of the way this plays out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
And I'm just not sure that it ought to be
such an advantage for those top five guys despite all
of their accomplishments all through the season. I could see
maybe tossing a couple of strokes the way of say
the top three, maybe maybe the top five if it

(01:05:34):
weren't so many strokes, but essentially only five guy with
Tissey two for six guys, excuse me, only six guys
started at even par. Everybody else got got an advantage.
And I was listening to the PGA Tour Networks this
morning and some guys said, well, other sports do it

(01:05:55):
that way too. Look at NASCAR in their FedEx Cup.
The points leader going into the final race for this
gets the pole position. Well, yeah, he gets the pole position,
that's true, but he still has to run the same
number of laps as everybody else in the field. In golf,

(01:06:19):
it's with the way this this is set up, it
would be like maybe I don't know. Maybe if you're
maybe if you're running one hundred yard dash and Scottie
Scheffler only has to run ninety yards to win the
tournament or to win the race. The same with the

(01:06:42):
racing analogy. Still, you gotta run all the laps.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
And I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
They're trying to trying to reward the person who's leading.
But with this tournament, especially in the way it's panning out,
you got the world best player who deserves something.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
He deserves some sort of recognition for his accomplishments this year,
But I don't know that you started him at ten
under par because even the guys who only started at four,
that's McElroy, Morkala, Clark, Burns, Cantley, even those guys know
that to make up six shots is gonna take a lot. Now,

(01:07:23):
Morkala has done a good job, he's gotten close. He's
the closest anybody is, and he's still five shots off
the lead.

Speaker 3 (01:07:32):
I saw a leaderboard and I don't have it pulled up.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
I wish I did right now, But I saw one
earlier today that was essentially the tour championship. If they
had all started dead even, and I looked that up
during this break we're about to take because I'm kind
of curious to see myself, who would beware Scotti Scheffler
without strokes is sixteen under par, which is no nothing

(01:07:57):
to sneeze at.

Speaker 3 (01:07:58):
Certainly, that's pretty dog good.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
He's averaging five under par per round, and it's played
very well to get there. And then you got Colin
Morikawa who started off at four. He's managed to get
to twenty one. He's seventeen under par on his own ball.
And I just wish that there were they could tighten
it up a little bit so there could be some

(01:08:22):
some question as who's as to who's gonna win. And
I don't like the example of the the NASCAR thing,
because again, no matter who's leading, no matter how many
points they've got, they've still got to run the whole race.
And Scotty, it'd be like Scotty Scheffer starting in a

(01:08:43):
two hundred lap race. Scott, he's only got to run
one hundred and ninety laps. Nobody's gonna catch him. He's
that good. And same with this tournament. I heard, interestingly,
Tiger Woods brought was brought into the conversation and he
everybody knew pretty much when he was leading after three

(01:09:05):
rounds he was going to win the tournament. I think
his record was something like fifty three and two when
he was leading going into the fourth round. Scheffler doesn't
have that kind of credential built up yet and he
wouldn't for many years to come. But I still think
that giving the leader ten shots is just too much.
It's a cool staff out of there. By the way,

(01:09:27):
Billy Horschell won the turn, I wondered who it who
came from the farthest back to win, and it was
Horseal in two thousand and Where did it go?

Speaker 3 (01:09:40):
Gosh, dog on it?

Speaker 2 (01:09:41):
Two thousand and twelve, maybe No, that was when fifteen
years only three times as a player outside this was
telling as well. Horse is the one who came back
from farthest back. And I don't have the year here,
but he started the playoffs that year. I want to
say it was maybe two thousand and eight something like that.
He started in sixty ninth place when they went in

(01:10:04):
the first tournament, missed the cut, missed the cut in
that first playoff event. Horseal finished tea for two win
win in the next three events and won the FedEx Cup.
Not gonna happen again. Not gonna happen again. Very interesting
fifteen years, only three times as a player outside the

(01:10:24):
top fifteen on the points list ending the playoffs going
on to win. That would be Horsell and then Snedeker,
who just won the Payne Stewart Award. Snedeker in twenty
twelve he started in nineteenth place, and Rory McElroy in
twenty sixteen started off in twenty or in.

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
Thirty sixth place.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
So hats off to all of them, but really for
the for anybody else who's not who didn't start in
the top ten, really not a chance. I just can't.
I don't see how they could do that. You got
the top five getting specific strokes, and then two four
five guys got four and that's where more Kawa gets

(01:11:07):
his snowballs. Chance to chase down Scotty Shuffler today, five
shot lead doesn't sound like much unless the guy you're
trying to chase is Scottie Shuffler, then it might as
well be eight.

Speaker 3 (01:11:18):
All right, we gotta take a little break.

Speaker 6 (01:11:20):
We are Sports Talk seven ninety. Listen online at sports
seven ninety dot com. Now more Doug Fight.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
Is this horn man.

Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
This is Kyle east Wood. Okay, full times, Okay, courtesy
full pro. That's good, that's good. He sounds like a
jazz guy. He seems like a jazz guy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
This may stick, Melvin, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:46):
This may stick, yeah, because we've gotten a lot of
positive feedback on the jazz now. I'm sure guitar Dave's
kind of cringing every time he hears one of these two.
You know, though, he's just an all around music guy.
I think even though that may not be his his wheelhouse,
he as a musician will respect it all.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
And that's the kind of the same way I am.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Except for hip hop that that has nasty language, even
some of it that's just that's that's not nasty.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
I I can appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
I can appreciate the the timing it takes to get
all that done and how difficult it is to enunciate
all that. But once you cross over to that filthy, vile,
ugly stuff that shouldn't be said out loud, probably anywhere,
And no, I agree, that's not no, And don't and

(01:12:39):
don't go don't go throwing that. Oh it's my art,
it's my that's me I'm an artist.

Speaker 13 (01:12:46):
No you're not.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
You're just somebody who's got a foul mouth. Seven one
three two one two five seven nine. Email me Dougpicke
at iHeartMedia dot com. Let's go back to dove guns,
shall we, and and dig in a little bit more.
Here's the deal. The options available to you as a
dove hunter are single shot, pump gun, semi automatic, over under,

(01:13:09):
side by side from about I don't know two hundred
manufacturers around the world, may be more. You have also
the option to shoot four, ten, twenty eight, sixteen, twenty twelve,
whatever gauge you want. You can't shoot ten gauges it doves,

(01:13:31):
I don't believe, and anybody who would it has lost
their mind. There that would be absolutely no reason for that.
But once you've got your favorite gun in your hands,
the more important thing. First of all, when you're going
to go buy a shotgun, make sure it fits you
and the way that I and this is just this

(01:13:52):
is a ballparkway. This is not an official way. This
is not a professional way to fit a shotgun. But
when the person behind the count or hands you that
gun so that you can mount it to see how
it feels, make sure you're pointed toward the wall or
just no place where anybody is. And then as you
mount that gun, close your eyes and just bring it

(01:14:13):
up the way you would bring it up if you
were hunting. And when you open your eyes, ask yourself
whether you're looking down a nice flat sightplane of the
top of the barrel all the way from.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
Back to front.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
If the gun actually has a bead at the end,
you should see only the bead and not the rib
or the top of the barrel. And you should if
it has that bead, you should be able to see that.
It shouldn't be it shouldn't disappear over the front of
your sightplane. That barrel needs to be aimed right down

(01:14:50):
where you're looking. And if the gun feels right and
it just mounts right to your shoulder, just smooth as butter,
then that's probably a good starting point for a gun
that'll fit you. If you have a gun that you've
inherited and you really want to shoot and it doesn't
fit you quite right, take it with you to one
of the gun stores any any place that I recommend

(01:15:11):
certainly can help you with this, and ask them to
help you find something that can make that gun a
little bit adjustable, put a little butt pad on the
end of it, add a little length to the to
the to the stock back there, and that will move
your face on the on the on the stock a
little bit back, and that will sometimes help lower that

(01:15:34):
I know that the trap gun that I dropped off
with with Jerry t. K the other day, if I
were just to have have extended that stock about a
half inch, it would have fit me better.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
It didn't fit me right, and I didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
It's a pretty gun, and it's in excellent shape, and
I didn't want to mess it up by adding something
to it. Surely somebody will come in that store and
and fall in love with that gun and buy from them.
So anyway, the bottom line is make sure it fits
you and then go shoot with it. Go practice. There's
a reason these shooting ranges are out there. Some people

(01:16:11):
are out there just for fun to see if they
can break a few clay targets. Others are out there
to make sure that when they go hunting, which they
can do starting this morning at sunrise. They can go
hunting for doves or ducks or geese or quail or whatever.
And you want to hit your targets that gun fitting
you is going to be. It's not half the battle.
It's about twenty five percent of it, at least twenty

(01:16:34):
five percent fit. About sixty or seventy percent practice it,
breaking targets, and then a little bit of luck, because
if it gets windy, or if the birds are a
little spooky and every now and then, doves especially, they'll
look like they're flying in a dead straight line all
the way until you get up and move, or just

(01:16:54):
for some reason they decided they were going to change course,
and right as you.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
Pull the trigger, they'll go up three feet and they'll
go down three feet left.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
Or right, and the hole, that whole pattern of several
hundred pellets will miss them somehow, and you'll never You
just won't even know why. You know, how did I
miss that bird? It could be two things, actually, as
long as I'm on, It could be that you just
missed because you made a bad shot. It also could
be because you didn't invest in quality shot shells, which

(01:17:23):
would have produced an open or an even pattern that
didn't have holes in it. If you got bad shot
shells and you're gonna have holes bigger than a dove
in your pattern, even at thirty yards or maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
Closer, who knows. All right, we've dived off into opening day.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
That's done. We'll come back next weekend and talk about
how everybody did this week, and we'll talk about fishing,
because it's gonna get really, really good now that hunting
seasons open. That's just kind of nature's trick that plays
on you. Yeah, yeah, you go on, you go hunting.
Fish's gonna get real good while you're going. I'll be
back tomorrow. Yeah, I'll be back, no, no, no doubt.

(01:18:05):
I'll be back Tuesday. Everybody's off tomorrow. Go fishing, go
play golf, go honey, do whatever you want to do.
Do something outside with your family. I'll be back Tuesday
on fifty plus on KPRC. Right back here Saturday at
seven on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
Thank you all so very much for listening. I really
do appreciate it. Stay safe.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
I want you back.
