My brother and I went there opening morning. Pretty crowded (obviously), and didn’t have any clear shots due to a road behind us and hunters in front of us. But counted 21 dove and had a great time. Anyone else have any luck?

The property owner needs to mow some lanes or plow them. Last time I was there Bermuda grass was waist high and chiggers were bad. Almost impossible to find your dove once shot. I am surprised it was crowded.

Oh yeah, I believe that. Grass was hip high in most places, I could definitely see it challenging to locate downed birds. The northern part of the area seemed to be a little clearer. At least birds were present.
