the OP and I had a good hunt, It was my first dedicated bird hunt in about 5 years and Deckers first, so I would say we did alright! Hopefully we have birds to improve on throughout the season. The other guys out there limited out about an hour before us, hopefully we get there before the end of the season. If you have water, things should be good tonight. I was amazed at how well the mojo tree we built worked. build one if you got the time! 15 bucks well spent at home depot. Mojo Tree? I gotta see this!!! Any pictures? pretty much like this: http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/u...ree#Post2552165 with an umbrella stand as the base...those birds were nearly landing on it towards the end Thats not a dove tree..... THIS is a dove tree!!

Hunted in Pflugerville, and shot my limit in an hour and a half, more or less. All but two were good sized white wings. Good flights of birds with a lot pairs and singles thrown in. All around great first day.

Limit by 8:30, started off slow but picked up and even had several large wads of birds swarm me. My shooting was pretty poor, think it took me like 1.5 boxes to get it done. Pic Added:

Is it noticeably better than having on the ground?

Not so well in the Dayton area. Nobody in the group got more than 4 birds and where I was I got none! Hopefully tomorrow will be a different story.

Went out this afternoon to a buddy's ranch near Burnet.
Got there at 5:45pm and limited out in 45 minutes! One of the best hunts I've had!

they were kinda thin on my lease only managed to get 3, but we still had a blast.  Loneranger that is a great pic,you can just see your dogs enthusiasm with that bird in his mouth.That should be in THF cover photo contest.

Saw 4-5k birds in Frisco yesterday. Shot a limit in forty five min. World war three is right. There were plenty of birds to go around.....
