It seems that the doves are heavy south of us, San Antonio, College Station - I keep hearing reports of big numbers, but nothing up here. Did they fly early?

Hardly anything flying here. I saw a group lined up on the fence line earlier. I am hoping to sneak up on that group and get a skillet shot on Monday.

Woodson is good .

we'll have to split it!

3-4 weeks ago, we had more dove here, than I've seen in a couple of years. Moved out maybe a week+ ago

Most the ponds around me are dry, or mud holes, may all be closer to area lakes?

I'm in S.W.Wise County 1/2 mile from the Parker co line.

Kinda' sketchy in the Waco area. The closer to town you can get the better. The South side of loop-340 looked decent today on the way home, but not what I'd call good by any means. With all this negativity, I may question the "first limit pic" posted at 7:05 Monday morning. I want to see Monday's newspaper in the pic. lol

edited to add: OK, I'd settle for Sunday's front page. We don't all pass a news stand on the way out.

Young County is Great

Between waco and Temple the birds are ok nothing to get excited about. Hope the cool front(high of 95) brings them in.

Winters. I can see a limit's worth from the front porch. On my property, they fly pretty steady most of the day. You can't walk or drive through the mesquites 20 yards without busting a few birds from the trees. Bunch of local birds, I'm sure. Hopefully they stick around. If a front pushes them out, I'm sure the migratories will take a few days to hit the wheat field real well.

I saw 6-8 white wings in my front yard this morning in Dallas. We only have mourning dove at the lease in Palo Pinto.

Wow I am shocked at the reports I went fishing at the private Lakes Sunday in mills co. and birds were everywhere morning and the white wing.

Just a few miles to the west in Breckenridge that's usually what I get. A few white wings work their way in there, but that's it.

OK, this is weird, Looked out the door this afternoon to see if there where ay dove at the bird feeder, there was one!1 it was a whitewing! If it comes back I will try to get a cell photo. I knew they where her in the winter the last few years, but WTH? Wonder if my place is slipp'n South!

I have a couple flocks of white wings hanging out behind my house in 2 trees right now

Because landowners that hunt do not let just everyone on their property.

Ill be hunting in liberty hill near cr 200 on a buddies place they have been flying pretty thick for thebkast few weeks. We usually get a lot of local birds the first few days

I'll be out in Bertram hunting for the first time in 10 years! Birds have been there but I've never scouted the morning time. Plenty of sunflowers and water, just have to find the birds.

My friend on the lease in breckenridge limited out in an hour. So they are flying west of the metroplex.

Bell County around the Lampasas River, first opening day when I never fired a shot. Friends on Ft Hood Said they limited out....?

Slowest its been in forever.

We're not shooting limits but it beats waiting on the season to start.

hunted one spot south of waco and wasnt very good moved about 2 miles down the road to a tank and the birds were flying thick in small groups.

Hit or miss.
