Many years ago I hunted a public lake near Iowa Park, Tx. There were enough doves to keep several groups of hunters busy. Don't know how the hunting is now, things change over 35 years. Good luck to you!

I hunted in Wichita Falls yesterday. Thousands of whitewings. Flocks of hundreds but most of them are flying too high to shoot at. I shot a bunch of Eurasians and a few mourning dove and a few whitewings.

I did too Charlie. Loved hunting out there. Back then you couldn't shoot before noon. I remember one year it sounded like a war zone. We got checked by the game warden at 12:45 and we had a 5 man limit that was 12 each at the time. We were scared we had miscounted but luckily we had not.

I still hunt there. Hunted outside of Holliday (valley view) opening morning. We both got 9. All morning dove. Went out to the lake about 2 and only saw 2 high flyers for 2 hrs. Been scouting out there before opening lately and haver seen many.


My boss hunted burkburnet tue eve and limited out white wings in 15 minutes.

I hunted 1/2 mile from Wichita Falls Tuesday afternoon. My son and I limited out. About 1/2 mourning dove and 1/2 white wing. Also shot about 10 collared (no limit). I never had a chance to sit down there were so many birds flying. It was the best dove hunt I've ever been on!
