78/22

Still strong numbers for the Season Opener

Still think it will be 50/50

How many plan on shooting a limit in the morning and a limit in the evening?

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.

Similar situation for me, just not as many acres

77/23

Still strong for a weekday

I just sit on my porch swing and pick em' off when they are headed to water.

i dont usually hunt the opener because i dont want to be shot on public ground! But this year i got an invite to hunt a huge wheat field that one of my budies just cut so i guess thats a good enough excuss

Good Luck

76/24

1st & 2nd then 12th, Teal/Dove, 19th Teal, 20th Teal/Dove, 27th,28th Teal/Dove.

I love Spotted Owl......they taste like Eagle

I'll be out bright and early opening morning.

The public dove leases can get pretty crowded, at least the good ones

Still at 76/24

Going to be a lot of dove shot on Tuesday

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.

Wife is have major back surgery on the 28th,so she will be too drugged up to know I am not at the hospital the morning of 1 September!

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.

Back down to 75/25

I think Dallas, Denton & Collin County are leased out by now

75/25

Numbers still holding up

Looks like most will manage a dove hunt on opening day!

I get off at 3:30. An hour drive to hunt sitting in the field at 5.. Good stuff

Yep!

The tide is turning 76/24

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.

It is more fast and furious in the afternoon

Should be cooler in the morning
