I scouted my field in Murray this morning, and it was loaded. There were lots of big groups which makes me think they're fresh birds. I hope we can avoid any weather that would push them out before the opener. Is there an anti-rain dance? That's good to hear. As the crow flies I am hunting just a little ways south of Murray. Three weekends ago there were several local birds in the mesquites around our field, but I have not been out there since.

Sporadic south of Rising Star. Spotty at fields that were L-O-A-D-E-D in NE Taylor County last year.

I counted 20 yesterday around where I live and watched local mallards fly at the last minute. More than what's been around that's for sure

According to TPWD y'all are full of it.  It's shaping up to be a fantastic season. Dove populations are thriving this year thanks to spring rains. States to our north had similar spring conditions, which should result in strong numbers of additional birds migrating to Texas later this season. Get ready to hunt some dove! I suppose they gotta sell licenses.

Anyone around Plainview? It's always loaded up with doves in the winter when I go there to hunt quail, but I have no idea about Sep.

Yeah...I'm sure there are birds around but this is the fewest I've seen in the Williamson county area in years.
