Sitting on the porch at camp early Thursday afternoon and watched about 50 or so birds fly into the nearby sunflower patch. We loaded up and went to the field. Buddy shot 1 bird and then the bottom fell out. Retreated back to the front porch and waited it out until it quit raining about 6:30. Went back but the birds had left. Moved further into the pasture to a known flyway and sat there until sundown but nothing. First opener in many, many years that I didn't fire a shot but I'm not complaining. We really needed the rain. Couldn't hunt Friday but Saturday went to a different place a few miles from the first one and it was pretty decent. Didn't get any pics but 4 of us got 48.

White-wings & eurasians, saw zero mourning doves. After last year's bust of seeing zero birds, this year's hunt and feast was good.

I’ve had a rough 10+ years of dove hunting (could count my limits on one hand). Found an opening weekend hunt near Wichita Falls this year and shot 24 mourning, 3 white wing, 12 eurasians, and 4 pigeons (43 birds) in 2 days.

Probably could’ve shot 60+ birds if I had the time to practice before the hunts hammer

My dad would make a bet at any time, for any amount, with anyone, that it would rain between opening day and Labor day. 9/10 times he would win.

Finally went last weekend. Wife hunts with me and had surgery the Friday before season opened. So we sat out til she felt like going out. Had to make my own “shade” with the truck just to stay cool. Ended up with 7. Kinda slow.
