Northern birds showed up in Young County last night. We had a good hunt and saw over 40 this morning on the power lines. Wish I was going to be home to hunt tonight.

VPLANU last I went out the edges were striped along with one path connecting from south pond to north pond. There was a large area in the middle that was cleared out and baled up. Didn't see any birds out that way.

Compost time! unless you have low-life critters around the property that digs things up? i bury old animals and such in our piles of trash, and few months makes great garden, field fertilizer.

Vplanu I didn't notice the whole carcass but by the south west pond was it's other leg. Did you see any birds? Pm if you'll be free after this front rolls in late next week. Paramedic school final is Monday!

Had a good hunt tonight in Fisher county. Limited out and was proud of the Shorthair pup I brought with me. We didn't lose a bird in the grass. The last bunch of dove that came over I killed all three. She brought me two and the last one flew over the tank dam when she got on him. She came back with that bird in her mouth and I was pretty proud.
All dove were small no northern s.

Guys had a decent hunt yesterday, seems like a few more birds starting to push in. New field this morning, we'll see what it has.
Decent morning, no limits but most shot 5-10 birds.

Bird numbers still really high out in Throckmorton County. Big group out yesterday with almost everyone with limits. I got another limit this am by 10 after 8. Lots of bigger birds too with lots of plume.

We hunted Throckmorton Friday afternoon, Sat morning and sun morning. If you can shoot easy limits. Most had between 5-12 birds in our group of 11 hunters. Me and a couple others limited every hunt. About 75% of our birds are northern birds. Sunday morning I had my limit in about 45 minutes. Most who did not limit should have or at least very close. Still plenty of birds but that all may change this week.

Starting to see more birds here this morning. Had around 150-200 on the power lines around my house fields this morning. Yesterday there were maybe 50 or so on the lines.

Still shot some but had to shoot well and be where they wanted to be to get a limit. Nothing easy but still had a good time.

Starting to see more birds here this morning. Had around 150-200 on the power lines around my house fields this morning. Yesterday there were maybe 50 or so on the lines. Wonder if they hang around until the weekend?

We were in Jim Wells county around Alice this last weekend and it was great as usual. I took 14 friends down and everyone burnt lots of powder and most shot limits. The others just couldn't hit 'em very well. Had 2 kids that killed their first limits ever. We hunted the same field 3 days in a row and it never let up. We even shot 25 or so pidgeons over the weekend. Those young boys had a blast shooting the pidgeons. My son and fiancée's son shot 5 out of one group. I was proud!! I Wish I had time to go back. Sunday morning we had gobblers serenade us for a while until the shooting started. We also met the game warden and he is a great example of a great game warden. Very cordial and even shook your hand when he walked up. After a good visit I got his card and invited him back any time.
