Scratched a limit this morning, just trying to stay out of the mud.. Haskell.



Tara holding steady and takes off like a rocket..

Awesome, headed out for the PM in a bit.

Went out to public just to say I did. Not much flying, but 1 for 1 shooting. I’ll take it compared to my goose-egg on a paid field last year.
The real hunt comes this weekend.

Looks like you did well!

I knew if you kept putting that milo on the blue tarp the last two weeks would condition them to coming to your field.

Just kidding. Glad you found them.

Got lucky. Two weeks ago there were literally 6 birds. They brought a lot of friends.

Nice work guys! I was home, off work, rooting for ya.

Managed 3. Birds were minimal, not much shooting from others in San Marcos area. Going to try Waco tomorrow evening.

Slow…arse….morning! But a ton of fun regardless

8 man limit Northeast of Austin. Birds were thick.

@Guy
Beautiful dog!
I'm hunting Haskell tomorrow. My friend has land there. He says it was raining heavy in Throckmorton yesterday

Great photos Guy!
Hope to get out there tomorrow afternoon after work, if not than Sunday as Saturday looks like rain all day.

probably the first time in the last 20 yrs i did not hunt but i will next week end and the so tex opener also

great job Guy and guys; I haven't even bought my hunting license yet. Im usually first in line on 8/15.

I’m surprised, I thought you were always first on over priced items!

I’ll take your waterfowl stamp for $20

Slow for my this morning, at least it is not raining.

The birds in uvalde are flying, the white wing are flying in the upper atmosphere. 4 birds each morning shy of a limit though. I also got my first pigeon and saved all the hearts. It’s also great seeing water all over the place out here.

I forgot pictures. This opener was the best I've ever seen. 100s of birds seen in just a couple of hours, until I got hot and thirsty. A good shot gunner could have limits in an hour or two. I got 7 and was pretty happy with that. Pretty darn good for public hunting. This morning was a bust - I never even saw a bird for the first hour, and even that I had to drag up and move to where no one else was.

The best part of the hunt was billy hunt coming over to visit wife and me. We got to drink some beer and watch a backcountry gully washer roll in.

Had to work at it, but got my limit and 2 kicker collard dove…

I'll be in Jim Wells County tomorrow for the early White Wing opener, will see what happens.

easy limits yesterday and this morning. I shot 55 shells for 30 birds and was back at the truck cleaning birds with a cold beer in hand by 8 both mornings. Throckmorton Tx.

What we noticed was the high amount of northern birds already down here. About half my birds were northern birds

Hadn’t even gone this year yet. Two reasons, have only seen 2 dove in the area, and hadn’t got my butt to get a license! hopefully will change that tomorrow!!!
