I shot a new species!!!

[lunkerhunter2]

Went out to my spot this morning to get a dove or two. Started off with seeing 6 doves before legal shooting light and nothing for a half hour. I shot at 2 singles over the next hour and then got a pair and a single in 10 minutes. Nothing else for the next hour and then a dove flew over fast and hard and i dropped it! I went to retrieve it and found out it wasn't completely dead and had a fun time trying to catch it. I finally caught it and was totally blown away![shocked] It was a eurasian collared dove! I had heard about them but never thought i would shoot one. It was almost as exciting as when i shot my first wood duck.[] I am going to get this bird mounted. They are huge and beautiful. Got some good pics so enjoy.
