Last years dove hunt with me and Keaton at Sandcastle Farm. This was the last year we were able to hunt the property. Its sad, bittersweet but we went out with a bang. The old man running the place turned it over to his son who was more interested in doing a wedding barn on the field than continuing our hunts on fields we'd been leasing for at least 20+ years from a large group of hunters. I personally hunted it 8 years. It was a place of zen, it was the place of beginnings for us hunters. It was where i started my whole hunting career. I met alot of great people. And since that year we've never found another field that produced like Sandcastle Farms did. I'm glad for the times I did hunt that land. I'm glad for the people I took there and taught to hunt dove. I felt like family there. For me it was the joy of watching the youth of the field return and grow into young men each year, watching the dogs work with their owners, smelling the BBQ smoking on the grill, and the essence of gun powder still burning at sunset. You'll never find such a place again. We all felt like family there because of ole Bill Rhyne. Yet it was a piece of paradise that was taken from us. So the next time you go down that old dirt road, and you're going there for so and so's wedding....remember simpler times. Times when greed for money and land wasn't such a thing. You kept your promises, you looked out for a fellow brother. When men were men. Such things were taught there and apparently lost by "one" there.
