HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division kicked off opening day of dove season at Flat Creek Public Fishing Area in Perry with a "cast and blast" event on Saturday.
The event gave people from across Central Georgia an opportunity to fish and hunt.
Children 16 and under started their day at a kids fishing event. At noon, they headed to the dove field to finish out the day with a hunt.
One fisherman we spoke with says he enjoys the excitement with his kids.
"It's a great time. I mean, I grew up doing this and for me to be able to take my kids and watch them catch fish, it's even a lot more fun," he said.
Cast and Blast is an annual event.
