Dove 2024

Same thing for pheasants back in the cornfields up north. Modern farming techniques, subdivisions, and coyotes have all taken their toll. Now they have "clubs" putting on "hunts" that you pay per bird. Birds are released into the fields after money has changed hands. Sad.

I used to drive a lot of gravel country roads for work. It was the highlight of the season to see a cock (ring-necked pheasant) flush next to the road. If I was lucky, I'd see one or two a year. Some years, I wouldn't see any.

I used to walk the stalks in Nebraska with Dad, 50 years ago. He taught me to hunt. I like to pretend nothings changed, though everything has.

Carried my dad's shotgun through the stalks and CRP land last year. He has been gone for some time, but he was present.

You sound disappointed to not see a cock.

It's because of people like you that I knew I had to add the parenthesis.

I'm glad I'm armed around you people.

Seems every year TPWD claims “more birds, great year” and every year I see less birds.

Almost like they are trying to make sure people keep paying for license.

Haven’t gone yet, hoping to go mid-September.

Not very many dove here anymore.

I got a pair of them that like to hang out in my pecan tree in the back yard. I wouldn’t shoot them.

Only on TGT can a thread about dove hunting go so wrong.
