This many Doves here this time of year. I am still covered up in them and have been since October. Should be a great local population and hatch this year,,,I'm hoping.

Same here down south and they have been here since early last fall in great numbers. Just a lot of weed and grass seeds this year. They are at my feeders before the deer get a chance most days.

That's a good number of birds, STX.

I think I saw two on the last day of duck season, but I wasn't really looking. As long as they show up during season I am good.

I'm in Jourdanton and they're thick right now

Same thing here in North TX. By far the most I've seen this time of year. A few weeks ago I was in the panhandle hunting ditch chickens with plenty of snow on the ground and I couldn't believe the numbers there, too.

I plowed my sunflower patch last couple of days and its loaded with them now

The dove were horrendous at our place. We fed more dove than deer once Decmber hit. They would eat every kernel.

we have had a bunch of white wing around my house in Bridgeport as well.

2nd season was the best we ever had this year in Young County

I took my son hunting in freer on the last weekend of doe/spike season. No less than 75-100 dove around every feeder on the ranch! They can clean up the corn thrown out in a matter of minutes.

doves in Medina Co were stupid good in Dec-Jan...
never seen so many...
we had many good shoots over tanks and sesame fields...
next yr sesame will be off about 80% acct price, tho...
inside Hondo city limits, the whitewings are as thick as if it were Aug...

NTX have very little food- we were loaded previous 2 years- couldn't get corn/ milo/ wheat in w moisture. All about the food
