“This never-ending summer has had an effect,” he said. “We need some cold fronts. Bird behavior seems almost a month behind. In the last week, I’m seeing some mourning dove grouping up in Central Texas. Usually we see that in late August.” https://www.lsonews.com/what-happened-to-the-dove/

Lots of birds west of Throckmorton yesterday and I mean a bunch. Hunting solo got limits 1 hour 45 yesterday, 1 hour 10 this am. About 1/3 northern birds. From 4 to 4.30 yesterday guessing 300-400 birds hit the sunflowers. I hunted facing north and when the wind changed the bird were hauling @#$. Lots of fun. 61 this am cloudy with a north breeze sure felt good. It’s about time.

We were covered up with them on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Just east of Haskell. Big groups were busting in with the cold front Sunday evening. Hunted fields on the lease and our rancher let us hunt one of his ponds Sunday. My nephew had not seen action like this and got a little overwhelmed, therefore missed quite a few. I ain't the best shot either
The birds started moving before sunrise and seemed to end around 8:30 both mornings. They started moving late in the evenings also. It was hard to leave the pond at sunset with so many birds still flocking in.
Next weekend looks promising with the other stronger front moving in. Cheers!

The past 4 weekends have been pretty decent. Next weekend is my last weekend, with 3 fronts coming in it's going to be real interesting.

Good numbers in brookshire this morning. Killed 10, should have had an easy limit if I wasn’t such a poor shot.

We shot the heck out of them in pearsall last Thursday. Easy limits if you could shoot
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

East of DFW is barren of dove. Not historically the best dove hunting area but if on the right field it can be good. I have a cut milo field on the road to my neighborhood and have probably seen less than 5 dove. Normally after a couple of fronts there would be a 100+ on the lines in the evening but not this year. Last year was wet as heck and it was hard to get to some fields and this year dry and roads are good and no birds.

Hunted this past weekend both morning hunts. Birds were slow especially on Saturday. Saw more birds Sunday only got one bird each day due to horrible shooting. Hope this last weeks brings some more birds out in Williamson county
