  • Dove hunt fail this year

    Got a shitty 4 birds in 2 days of hunting. Walked several miles, no luck really. I had to shoot a full choke to even have a chance, and all 3 of the birds I shot were at ~50-70 yards - so I had to work for them. How did everyone else fare?

          Limited out opening day in Hico. Paid for a seasonal lease in Justin, went out twice, nothing. Been in the hospital w/ the wife since but once we get home me and the bird dog going try again.
          You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc.

            Saw more at the lease then ever have, we have the only water source in West Texas right now.
            Shot at a couple, but filling feeders in 106* wears you out to the point of not wanting to do shit but sit back and drink beer.

                Man, I feel bad. Was using a full choke and 6s / 7 1/2s south of Waxahatchie and limted out the saturday of opening week (morn / eve). Lots of birds. It's been 10+ years since I've had a hunt this good in TX.

                You guys know how it is...hit or miss...or miss...or miss.

                        I didn't go Saturday, but I was told there were quite a few dove in Ennis (well between Ennis and Scurry).

                            Limited with all whiteys in about 45 minutes in Waller (west of Houston) on Labor Day; all four of the group were done in about an hour, with two morning dove in the whole lot. I've never had a shoot like that before!
