Most of the old guys on our lease are planning on coming out on Labor Day weekend to hunt dove.
As far as I've heard, I'm the only one planning on hunting opening day (and the 2 following days). We're on a total of about 3750 acres in north San Saba County with 12 guns, lots of water and some of the pastures have some good open fields near the water. Looking forward to it more than you know.

Wouldn't miss it, but then again I can walk out my front door and blast away. I just sit on my porch swing and pick em' off when they are headed to water.
Born to hunt and fish.

Looks like we only have a couple hundred dove hunters on the Migratory forum, based on the poll results. Thought there was more.
Maybe some of the dove hunters are still making plans to get off work

I was 100% but now 50/50% since I will be at the lease this weekend getting ready for deer and be there the next for dove with my boy and have a couple invite hunts to go on. I might rest the place for the opening weekend so my boy and I hunt it fresh.

Gonna be up and down I-35 between Hill County and the Oklahoma Border for the first two weeks of the season. Then out to Stephens County for a weekend. The next two weeks should be long enough for the kitchen passes to stack back up and then its time to pick up the bow.

Similar for me
Have to start getting ready for deer season too. Pretty good place for dove hunting also. Kill two birds with one stone. Try to get in and out before the weekend crowd arrives.

I'm taking my youngest (4 years old) on her first dove hunt Tuesday morning. My oldest (6 years old) is not happy she has to go to school. I plan on picking her up after school and heading back out. She keeps saying she really liked going when it was dark outside though. I guess I'll have to find another morning hunt to take her. I usually only hunt the opening morning and then just evenings after that.

Love those early morning hunts myself. Hunting is better in the afternoon though... in my area at least.
