    Very few dove flying this morning. Less than prior years.


    Not believing all that talk I heard about it being a good year for them.

    The Moonpie and I did pretty good. Lots of birds flying. Probably would have gone better if I hadn't left my mojo batteries at home. Doh!

    My trip to Eastland county got postponed due to lack of birds.
    As expected, we had a sprinkle this morning at 2 a.m. - but not enough to make anyone wanna fly south.

    Appreciate this post.

    It would be great if others who went out for doves would report in, so we could get a picture of how it went, overall!

    Switched spots this evening. Had 2 fly over while I was opening a gatorade right after I got here.

    Had 2 more fly over later.

    Haven’t heard a single shot fired by anyone else. Worst opening day I can remember. About to call it and hope we get a cold front soon.

    Had six left on my limit this evening. Took about 10 minutes. Birds were everywhere. Got some fantastic dog training in though.

    In the woods...
    I hit TWO dove with the truck on the way to Lufkin for church this morning. One hit the windshield and was a gonner. The second got caught in the grill and lost some feathers, but I was going slow and he flew off a bit worse for the encounter.

    Well, I surely don't need to read a book. I hunted doves all my life, from the GA/FL line to Honduras. Lived in Brownsville & Corpus for years. We always hunt doves with duck dogs. Never a problem. I have seen a weimaraner eat doves, but never a duck dog. The faster the shooting, the more the dog is needed. Several times, after a busy shoot, I've turned my dog loose while hunters were packed-up and having an after-hunt cold beer. Dog will invariable find another couple limits folks have lost. Just make sure the man isn't watching this, as it could put you over the limit. Duck dogs don't like doves, but a good one will pick them up. leVieux

    Had good two good hunts so far. Still see lots of birds.

    Nice being able to hunt 10 minutes from the house. Them Frisco city birds are thick and fat.
