OK, NEW TO THIS BIRD/DOVE HUNT IN TEXAS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN
A PLACE THAT I HAD TO BE CONNCERNED ABOUT RAIN. I KNOW THAT WHEN A FRONT COMES THRU IT PLAYS ON FISHING, WHAT ABOUT BIRDS? I LIVE ON S/W SIDE OF FT WORTH & I SEE BIRD ALL THE TIME. RAIN OR SHINE FROM THE PATIO.I HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO HUNT THIS WEEKEND WEST OF DENTON. WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS. BILLY

GO, just watch out for lightning!

Other than having a gun that's not going to turn to dust, trekking through 5 inches of mud, getting struck by lightning, and all that hassle for potentially nothing...

it could be fun.

I got out to the field yesterday to swat some dove, and it starts raining like crazy. Soaked, i had half a mile walk back home in 5" thick of mud, lightning everywhere and me- the tallest thing in a field, with a big metal gun. Great.... As the rain came down sideways, a Solo dove was trying to fight the wind, floating in the sky, I took aim at the bird that was seemingly mocking my very existence. Blammmmo... At least I didn't get skunked.


Also; please turn your caps lock off. This isn't that Extreme of a topic to warrant hollering.

Craftsmanb-

Where exactly are you hunting at?

I am 8 miles west of Denton north of 380. Sorry the cap lock is a work thing. Hope it did not hurt your ears. Thanks, Billy

That is right by my house actually lol! Whose field are you hunting out of?

Ive been wondering what the odds are of getting it by lightning while standing in a lake with a gun in my hand...

Wingshooter1, i will be in your back yard at 6:00 sharp seting up the mojos. You bring the coffee & donuts ok. HA! HA! Just kidding, its leased land from a guide I know that is 6 different
fields, about 850 acers total.

Lucky you!!! I am busy all morning otherwise I would be hunting. I normally hunt the fields all around the Jahova Witness Church. Let us know how you do or how wet you get lol. I have not been seeing as many birds as usual around here.

Thanks guys for all your help. Billy
