NORTH TEXAS DOVE - -> POLL < - - Sept 1 or Later?

How many are taking off Work to Hunt Morning of Sept 1st in the North Texas zone?

Vote in the poll now!

I will still be in fall camp here at Austin College so i went ahead and voted for the had to work lol

Hackberry Flats up here in Oklahoma on the 1st for me. Love That Place.

I've got all next week off!

I'm taking Sep 1 whole day, Sep 2 afternoon to take my son out, and Sep 4 afternoon so we can head out west and scout before Sat AM.

I can't vote since I am leaving about 9 am to drive out west to hunt the afternoon.

I'm retired and hunt out the back door. So, I guess I'll be out there from Sept 1st until...........................


I run out o' shells

Thanks for the poll , we will have 60% of our dove hunters opening day with a full tank of water

Dont pepper your neighbors;)

yentzen does Hackberry Flats have any water this year??

Hehe

I am actually going Sept 2nd, cuz my dad has to work. I dont really think it will matter much though. I am starting to get very excited. This will be my boys first hunt of any kind!

Good golly, Yentzen. You shootin 6's on those dove? They look tore up!

Its like Christmas at my house... we are all off work

Missing opening morning is like keeping a preacher out of church on Sunday , Aint Happening !!!!!!!!

I have to drive to Brownsville that day, but I'm going to start my day with a short hunt.

My boss is bringing his boy hunting with me opening morning, so I'll be out there Sept 1. I'm pretty fortunate to have a boss that has priorities!

I like those binos, I own a pair and love them!

i live in the south zone but my girlfriends family owns leases in the north zone so idk if hunting is considered a date but thats what we are ganna do haha!!!

There's no better feeling than being in the field in North Texas early on day 1, hearing all the 'booms' from every direction . . . .


Last year, I had a coyote come running across my field about 7:30am, constantly looking back over his shoulder, obviously 'spooked' out from his den/bedding place by all the shotgun fire from the neighboring fields/hunters. I sat motionless at the tree/fenceline for about 3 minutes as he was coming right towards me - waited till he got about 20 yards away, then smoked him with a #4 shot cartridge that I was able to ease into the chamber as he approached . . .

Taking off 8/31 for leisurly travel,
9/1 for, well you know.
