Lot of birds here this morning.

Any reports from around the Graford area?

Here I sit working until Saturday morning.

Lots of rain here today.
Already at 2"
There were birds this morning on the lines.

Put a fence around them. See you Sat morning with mud boots!

Probably. Brother said 4" in rain so far in Graham

2.45" here so far with more predicted.

3.5" at my gate in Murray and 4.5" at my LO's place up in Throckmorton. Those numbers were as of 5pm yesterday. Boy it was needed though.

WE have had 5" as of this morning and still raining......Graham

Why is the rain a concern?

Hunting conditions, or will it force the birds to move on?

I was planning on going out tomorrow morning. . .

I have heard some positive reports about birds moving back in around the Graford area? Has anyone else heard anything?

It sorta slowed down here on bird #'s

Thinking I am calling in sick tomorrow from the mudhole known as Woodson.

Would appreciate a scouting report if you think of it. My dad and son will be at my place 1 mile east of puddins. Dad said he may head over there to hunt while my son bow hunts. We haven’t been since opening weekend.

I saw more birds on power lines today driving around than Ive seen all year. Big fat birds to boot!

I'm hoping this cold front pushed them in.

Will do tomorrow evening.

Thoughts on going out in the rain?

Immediately after a rain the birds always fly good.

Another .2" of rain last night, pretty muddy out here, that makes 2.65" for the week. Just got back from Breckenridge, saw lots of birds.

Quite a few birds in Woodson. It was raining at 3pm so I left and went to Murray. Quite a few birds there too and it wasn't raining. Got 3. 1 person can't keep them flying. Probably should have had 8 but some of my shells obviously were lead free.


Buster was like what the heck Dad?

Good deal. I’ll pass along the info. Thanks Bobby.

I tried for dove Saturday morning in the Honey Grove area; it was a beautiful, glorious morning, but no birds were bagged. For that matter, none were even assaulted with harsh language, as they obviously found the scenery more appealing elsewhere.

I went sat afternoon and this morning. Man we still have a lot of dove. The owner said he has not recall seeing seen this many dove Oct 1st . Anyway the afternoon and this morning's hunt was the 11th and 12th hunt of the year and the 11th and 12th limit also. I went alone also...nobody in my group wanted to go but me I agree with our landowner we had doves in the past but not this many. Throckmortan area.

This post is hilarious. Well done !!

BDB...your profile has you listed in mesquite. I live near town east and have been skunked at public land in Rockwall and Collin counties.... sounds like it's worth the drive out west. You hunt with an outfitter out there?
