Hunted the Waller public field yesterday. Saw 3 right at sunrise while walking in. Did not fire a single shot nor even see a single bird after that point all morning. If you are willing to walk, then in the afternoons you can flush a couple up from the ground. Did this the past couple weekends and at least bagged a couple.

I see 5 or 6 birds in same spot already in field but maybe one every 30 minutes will fly over me. A few flying in line with houses but don't come in range to take a shot at them. See more white wing flying than mourning dove but staying to close to houses and not flying over field. About to start hunting opossum....

I have been wanting to get out there to the Waller field, but I haven't had the time lately. But it doesn't seem like I have missed to much out there.

The dove hatch in all of SE TX was a bust this year. Too much rain last spring and early summer. The good ares for whitewings were hit hard and most birds left. I was in El Campo on the north side by Bucees a week before opening day and it looked like Argentina, huge #,s of whitewings. A week later, same place and time of day and hardly any birds.

On my morning walk which I usually see a fare amount of dove has ended seeing a single dove. I saw more ducks flying over this morning, didn't hear or see a single dove.

Anyone get out for youth weekend (duck)? Sounded like it was slower than usual from what I heard (Eagle Lake/Garwood area). Wondering about the regular opener now. I've given up on the doves- at least until second season- but have enjoyed reading the posts here.

Lots more doves this morning west of town- Rosenberg and Needville areas. Anybody else seeing better numbers? Hoping for a good final week.
