Dove numbers

What kind of dog numbers are people seeing out west around Abilene area?

Dog numbers? Don't you just love auto correct

Not many dogs, few dove, it's still hot and early out west... Our Grayson/Fannin leases are beginning to look better... was worried early, not so much now

Saw 1 yesterday evening and heard 1 this morning east of Haskell. From Haskell to Munday to Seymour to Wichita Falls this morning saw 1.

See these posts every year. Ducks, Dove, migratory birds. WAAAAAY too early. A front can blow in night before and kick 90% of birds out. If there is food and water, they will come. That and weather is 99% of formula. Obviously, Hunting pressure can affect numbers as well but not in this context

At one of my fields this morning there were about 35 small mourning doves on the power lines. Latest hatch I suppose.
Always start seeing more once I start cutting fields.

I agree with Greekangler 100%

Here is a pic of a dove still on a nest that I took Sunday 7-25

take me to the closest bank of america

They incubates 14 to 20 days; the male incubates during the day and female at night. Male and females look the same, so you think it is the same dove but it is not. They can have up to 6 hatches a year.

Cool, I new they had multiple hatches through the year. Didnt know the male and female shared the incubation process.

I’m seeing lots of white wing around my place NE of Abilene this year. Hope they keep hanging around

We had a lot of white wing a couple of years ago and they left the week before season

Heading out in a couple weeks to shred

Just getting excited about a good year

Help id morning doves

Drove from Frisco to Boerne/Comfort last weekend

Still very green, hay was abundant and most fields ready to cut again.

Sunflowers looked GREAT

Around guadalupe and wilson counties i feel like i'm seeing more this time now than i was last year but not seeing tons and still a lot could change. Just starting to harvest grain around us, maybe should stir things up some. Still a month for the season though too. Wet fields locally might keep some grain in the field longer and make for better birds.

I was in throckmorton and they were on nearly every power line

I am not seeing many in my area yet

My guide this year in Haskell sent some pics to a friend I'm hunting with this year and his fields were covered in dove. This was last week.

Reports for out by Trent sound good. Hope it holds up until after first couple days
