There are some on the lease, but we haven't seen/shot any.

7Mag and i took 23 Mourning Dove an 1 White-wing. If i wanted Eurasians, I'd just get out the old pellet gun and shoot those around the office and the house. The whole town's full of them, but you rarely see them in the country. Guess their too sophisticated for country life.

I killed one Eurasian collared dove Saturday morning hunting NW of Abilene. I didn't hear of any others hunting that land having killed one. I didn't recognize what it was until I picked it up. While flying, it looked like a large white-wing but a little lighter and more of light beige color...very nice looking bird.

Are those the ones that look like giant white wing, but are kinda grey with a few black feathers around the neck? Yup, got one of those, and there's another on that's been living around the house lately.

3 of us limited out in New Braunfels Friday night, but they weren't really flying too much yesterday.

98% all white wings with just a few mournings in Graham (Young County) for us opening day! I might try Hamilton this Sat with the Bandit for some collareds & mournings!

I got 2 this week-end for the first time and did not know until we got back to the lodge and got checked by the game wardon that they do not count against your limit.
