I have had tons around Woodson up until about a week ago. Mine seemed to have left a day or two before the front on last Monday. It’s been poor ever since.

Wow. long weekend. Saw more dove on this trip than I have seen on public land for the last 3 years. Not stellar numbers like I read here, but I'm guessing I saw between 40 to 50 birds, not all were in range. If I could just shoot a shotgun I could have brought home 15 doves between 2 days (just a guess). I didnt hit a single one :-(
My wife and I made a camping trip of it too. I have one of those pickup bed tents, just pitch it in the bed and blow up the air mattress. We like to stay at those picnic areas you see going down the road. Love hearing as hoot owl in the middle of the night.
Press for an AMERICAN.

Just checked my fields after this front, saw 3 doves. No idea where the northern birds are, either there's not many or just not here yet. Weird year, usually this time of year is pretty dang good.

I went to my property yesterday and didn't even take a shotgun.....figured I would be covered up in birds when I didn't have a gun with me but no, didn't see a single dove, not even on the wires driving there...

Saturday afternoon in Haskell, saw one pair, and I got there about 2. Sunday morning I did not hunt I had to get back, but scouted around before I left and did see more birds.

I've heard a theory that the smoke from the fires are messing with their migration. No idea if that's the case, just a theory I heard. They may have had a bad hatch up north, I'm as confused as you are Sallysue

Hunted this past weekend in between La Pryor and Uvalde and there were a few birds at best. There were five of us that hunted Saturday and Sunday morning with a grand total of 14 birds killed. We were hunting in a sesame seed field and still weren't enough birds to call it a hunt.

Nothing on the front here,,so far. I don't know what happened to our northern birds this year, worst October ever for doves that I've experienced.
