I'm hunting the first 7 days straight.
Then the south opener for the first 3 days on a teal/dove blast n blast. Possession limit is only 3 daily limits, 7 days of hunting will require daily dove dinners. Possession limits make for pretty lively conversations on this forum.

I can't get out till the third. Can I shoot 45 then to catch up so to speak?

Possession limits make for pretty lively conversations on this forum. Not to difficult to eat 4 limits of dove in a week, but he can also remove them from his possession limit by sending some birds home with buddies. We sure have had some lively conversations. Like bringing up the Federal possession limit vs the State definition or if you know you shoot a bird but can't find it or unable to retrieve it, is it supposed to count against your limit. And so on.

I had planned to but not so sure now, just not seeing anywhere close to the #'s I'm accustomed to.Like a few others,I have the option of walking out the front door & blasting away so I guess I could give it a couple hours & then head to work. Hate that idea

Will be out opening day through the first week. Not seeing the numbers this year like last year in Lampasas County. May take a week to even take enough shots to get a single limit. Will save a bunch in ammo costs.

To the earlier post about a 3 day possession limit. That is only if you are staying out of town in a motel or hunting a couple of days away from home. You can only travel with 3 limits per person. Once you reach your final destination (home), it no longer counts as possession. Now, you cannot have possession of 3 limits on opening day. On day 2 you can have 2 possession limits. And day 3, 3 possession limits. And you cannot go behind your house and shoot a limit, clean them and put them in the freezer and go back and shoot another limit. Not legally at least. In other words, birds in your freezer do not count as any possession.

I blew out a cranial aneurysm Sept. 1, 1991 and haven't missed an opener since.
Why don't we have time to do things right the first time, but always have time to do things over, and over, and over?

Wow I figured more people would plan on going September 1. Im ready to go!
No one had a gun in our hands and we just watched it go. One guy threw his beer can at it.. just in really good shape and also hopefully flip the switch a little faster on my wife.
