Dove season is approaching!

Loading the trailer for opening weekend.

I give a +1 on the radio flyer!

I love it, looks like you are ready! We have home birds but not ones like in TX, have some grain fields planted by the State, never had luck there either, I have 5 shotguns and never get to use them. I am basically a bird hunter converted to hog hunting. My retirement dream was to motorhome to various bird seasons, all over the country, wife said NO...LOL

I hate it that the quail have been decimated they are my favorite. And I have some on my property buy I do not shoot them anymore....

 

[FrankT]

Quail, I love them, finally saw 1 that is right 1 on my lease, first one ever seen there. If I had my own land I would restock them but the predators really decimate them here, controlled burns may be the worst!

 

[sjb67]

We have seen a few coveys on our place but like everyone else we let them go. Between fire ants and predators they have decimated the populations around here.

 

[FrankT]

Oh yeah the fire ants are the worst on them, now we are getting the crazy ants. Unlike TX we don't have an aerial program for killing them.

I have been seeing flocks in the hundreds on my drive home from work lately. I'm sure it will be like years past.......gone when the first shot is fired (the Dove seem to head to the city limits).

Are you seeing white-winged, mourning, or Eurasian collared dove?
The Eurasians and white-winged dove love the mature trees and other structure in the city and use them year round. Mourning dove generally do not head towards town and are more migratory and can nest either on the ground or in trees.

The flocks I have been seeing on my drive are white wing.

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

I've been seeing tons of mourning doves here. And more Eurasians than ever!
