Banner dove year in the works

Everywhere I go these days......dove. Tons of 'em.

...and just think, the babies these are raising now will be full size soon.


I get excited at the prospects.

Don't worry most of them will be gone before the opener.

Come on a little north, buddy.
There'll be plenty for everybody.

You aint kidding Dale, they are goooood around here too!!! Oh by the way been seeing even more quail, lots of pairs since they cut the wheat

Yeah, Billy.
We'll be seeing you too.

I predict a cold front within a week before the opener. Bye bye dove...

There are so many dove it's like a plague of locusts. They are eating milo fields to the ground!!! Hide yo chilren hide yo wife!! The doveamegedon 2015 is coming!!!!!

All of our leases around Ellis and Navarro County are already showing good number of birds. Tons of wheat was left in the field cause the farmers couldn't harvest in time. Many farmers around here are also going back in and planting Milo on top of their wheat, this will be harvest probably the first week of September if weather cooperates.

Looking forward to a good year.

Frankie, is that you?

I got plenty of food for them,,Should be a fantastic year.

Uh huh, I would think soooo Should be good Stompy. good luck this year!!!

With all the food available, anyone think the birds will just be scattered, and tougher to hunt? Like ducks on high water years?

There is so many dove even Guy will get his limit the year

They were not able to plant any milo up in my country. Wheat will be ruined with the wet summer. I doubt we will have many birds. I'd say the sunflowers will be the ticket. Should congregate em good too.

With food and water being plentiful right now, they could be scattered around. With more storms being possible coming out of the gulf, it's anyone's guess. Haven't had a bad season in quite some time, couple months to go.

Mourning doves, can still pull off a couple of broods and white wings their second, so there should even be more come September.

When the rain shuts off it will be on like donkey kong on the water holes.

Yesterday saw 8, 9 BIG groups of white wings come over the house and land in the cotton/wheat. Hope they keep it up till October!!!
