Dove season

[cleric]

With opening day coming up. Who's going and where ya going?

 

[Dawico]

I will be hunting either in my front yard or with buddies that have some more land around here. I am going to miss opening day though. That sucks, and begins the whole season wrong.

 

[mkburden]

Anywhere and everywhere I can.

 

[jgalvanatx]

I'll be going with a Buddy on his uncle's place outside of Austin.

 

[Randman]

I wish! If I'm super lucky I'll have a place to go.....

 

[Charlie]

Can't go opening weekend, but when I go I'm just gonna' take a cooler of icewater and set it in an open field and wait. That's not really baitin' the birds, is it?

 

[dbgun]

Looks like I'll have to work opening day of the Central zone, Hopefully I can get away the following day. Usually hunt the Dayton area.

 

[Chupacabra Hunter]

In the South Zone, dove season doesn't start until Sept. 23.
Hopefully I will be able to go the first weekend and use my new benelli 12ga. pump. Academy has a good sale this week on shells...

 

[fortbriscoe]

Hunting in Hondo, just north of Mumme's Feed. Should have a limit by 4:45 or so.

 

[Vaquero]

I'm gonna work on plumbing and drink beer and cry.
Maybe I can go before season closes.

 

[LJH]

I am not making opening weekend. But my back yard will work just fine once I get around to it.

 

[jamesmrj]

I'll be hunting Friday and Saturday in the Bryan/College Station area. Sunday will be tailgating at the aggie game.

 

[navyguy]

Not going to make opening day. I think I'll wait for late season, cold front pushed doves around early October. Not so many hunters, and plenty of birds if you hit it right.

 

[Randman]

Well hot damn I was invited to go tomorrow!! I haven't been dove hunting on opening day since I was 17 yrs old.. Heck, I haven't been dove hunting in over 15 yrs.. Can't wait..

 

[indpendnt]

I'm just going to sit here and wish I was going...

 

[tdwhite03]

Heck I dont have to go anywhere, I have a large koi pond in my backyard so I can sit on the patio and use my pellet rifle and get all the dove I want. It is not uncommon for us to have 50-60 of them hanging around each evening. They are pretty safe though as I really dont like the way the meat tastes.

Correction - I'm taking my pellet gun over to tdwhite03's house... I hear he's got a bunch of fat city dove that he ain't doin' nothin with...

B-I-L is just outside of Lometa and says there are so many birds that even I could hit one!(Never shot a dove killing gun...I'm a pistol guy.) He won't have quite the usual crowd but plans on having a pretty good feast the first night. I'm gonna wait until it cools down a bit before I head up that way.

If we get any rain, is that good or bad for dove hunting?

 

[Wolfwood]

i was planning on having a bucnh of you guys out to shoot birds this season. but "progress" has infringed on my super cool spot.

sorry dudes.
