Hello guys, I prob know some of you from the fishing forums but I am new to dove hunting. I am hopeing i could find someone to go hunting with that might teach me a little about it this year even if i dont get a good kill count. Just a little hunting time to learn the sport. I live in Slaton just outside of Lubbock. I am 35 and this is my first time to hunt. I am also looking for a place to maybe go get some wild hogs for the freezer.
Thanks

Hey Brian, I used to live out in Slaton myself. Good luck and welcome to the sport. I ain't out in West Texas anymore or I would definitely go dove hunting with you. If you're looking for hogs though check down around the Seminole area if you know anyone down that way.

thanks... i really just shot up some money this morning ... seen a few but still trying to get the hang of everthing..

Bryan where all did you go this morning? What did you see flying, or rather how many? I'm from the lubbock area and try to get out as frequent as possible.

i went out 400 to damrons sand and gravel pit. i seen a few but nothing really inrange will try again this morning but a different spot... during the week they are thick out there not sure why they just didnt show up ??? let me knwo if you want to come out i will get you out there to see

I grew up hunting Sandhill cranes in your neck of the woods. You are in prime territory for that. If you have never hunted them I would highly advise doing so-it is extremely fun.

havent tried that but might have to ... trying to figure out the doves right now

hey wasting the money shooting up the sky is a blast to. if ya hit them ya have to clean them.
i had to clean 1 yesterday it was sad, id have rather cleaned a limit.

I am looking for public or even private land in the frisco area for dove and even deer as i have a lease in edan tx. for deer but that is a good drive.

how far are you from lubbock? you are welcome to come hunt with me here for dove. i would welcome the company

Did you ever find public land to hunt on near lubbock? I went down to San angelo and hunted some of their public land outside of town this weekend, and i'd like to find somewhere to hunt near lubbock.

we killed a decent number of dove this weekend near san angelo and then out near rankin.

If gordonville isnt to far of a drive for you there is a lot of public land that goes to lake texoma some in grayson and some in cooke...seen lots of deer out there great spot.

and for dove hunting the area around gunter and tioga is great just have to know people but most farmers will let you hunt their land but for a small fee.

Bryan do you have a place to hunt in Lubbock?

huntermk,

im looking for company too, live in flower mound. hunted lbj for turkey last year. would be up for some company. theres a couple good places for dove locally to us.
