Dove Season This Year

Slow hunt this morning so my hunters were having some fun.

Ha ha, it’s all about having fun. I been lucky this year with birds.

Its been slow for me this year

Had a sporty shoot just west of San Antonio this afternoon…was very slow until after 4:30 pm…and then it was “Katy bar the door”…!

Stompy, the birds have been pouring in on us about 5 miles west of Moran. Just got a pic from my a guy I share a lease with and the powerline was sagging with doves. We've literally had zero birds until the last 3-4 days and now we are loaded up

That’s good news!

Had a few more here this morning but not like that. Talked to an outfitter buddy in Wichita falls yesterday and he said his fields were loaded.

First time ive ever been able to hunt my own place. Last weekend my brother BIL and I put in a few hours in the afternoon and got about 30 birds between the 3 of us. If my shooting would have held up to theirs I bet we would have got a few more lol.

They have arrived.

Sweet!

That's awesome John!

Finally. That's what I wanted to read. Gongrats Stompy, glad they came. That looks like a haul.

Cleb, the brothers were out again as was a father & first time dove hunting 14 yr old son.

Cody limited out before 5pm, the 14 y.o. rookie took 10 and should have limited. The other brother & dad missed plenty of birds but still put a lot on the ground.

We need more hunters each hunt, we're solid with birds.

I definitely want to get another hunt in before the first split goes out…please let me know if you have a spot for me this or next weekend…!

John,
Just wanted to say thanks again for a great weekend. Everyone enjoyed it, and we are already planning next year. I'll be in touch.

Glenn,

Thanks Glenn, great bunch of guys, looking forward to next time.

Dove has been really slow until this past weekend in Bell County. Killed 9 on Saturday and on Sunday. Cold weather seems to have moved them in. Hope to go out and find more today.

we went to nolan county the 2nd weekend and hit 3 friday night and sunflower tops saturday. assumed it was gonna be another one of THOSE seasons.

last week of september,, after the front, i must of seen 9 huge flocks flying from lubbock to post

took my son out to coleman county the 2nd week of october and limited in 2.5 hours each day.

i felt like a storm chaser. lol but i really wanted my son to get the feeling of a GOOD dove hunt. all smiles this time. thankful.

They got 8 more days to get down here!!!!

I think second season in December is going to real good again this year.

TCM3, I saw 200+ sitting on a power line the other day. That was near Ransoms in Montgomery. The most I ever saw in this county.

Save me a seat.

holy cow!!!!!! I still ain't seen nothing... However, I got most of last years dove in the December season.

Love that Beretta A303, i have 3 of them great field gun.

This was my last weekend for dove hunting, time to let thing quieten down for deer season. I may do a few day hunts during the second split season if there's some birds.
I wanted to give a BIG THANKS to all my THF friends for coming out this year.

Always looking forward to the next bird hunt!

Have a dove assault plan laid out to finish up the first split...detailed planning is completed...critical supplies are on hand...strategy includes multiple options...only one thing remains uncontrolled...the birds.

Day One of the first split final weekend dove assault…hunted with TOO…we had a plan…and the birds showed up TOO…!

Nice shotgun

I finished out my season Friday/Saturday morning in the central zone Stiles Farms. Shot 8 but lost 2 in the tall grass
Saturday I did a lot of walking but didn't connect on ay birds - they were GONE. Amazing how fast they clear an area. Oh well, I'll leave some seed for next year. This year was the best season I've ever had.
