Dad went back Sunday afternoon/evening and got 1 bird.

They were thick Friday morning, scant but present Saturday, moved well Sunday morning, and vanished Sunday afternoon.

Dad had hunters Thursday and Friday that were all done in 45min. I only had time to hunt Sunday and it was a bit disappointing for myself and the new gf after hearing that and getting skunked.

I could've been done that quick Friday if my shooting wasn't so streaky. First box of shells, I had 4 birds. 15 shells later, I had my limit. Saturday, I could've hit everything I shot at and not had a limit.

I am bumping this thread because, I have still only shot 2 dove in the last 4 trips. Went this past friday in Brazos county on a beautiful morning. Set up the Mojos before sun up, and was eagerly anticipating seeing some birds due to the front that came in on Thursday. Well all I saw was a beautiful sunrise, and heard a cow that I thought might be calving in the next pasture. I almost went over there to investigate, because I thought this cow was in distress, or getting eaten by a coyote! Man what a racket. Needless to say, I didn't see a dove one. I'm convinced there isn't a dove in a rural area in Texas. Played golf last week at the campus course, and could have shot a limit in about an hour. City birds everywhere! I'm frustrated, but would rather spend a couple hours with no phone, enjoying the outdoors, then being at work. Oh well, I'll try it again next weekend.

Agreed, the dove numbers in parts of (or all) Brazos and Burleson counties are still very low. This evening two of us were in western Brazos county, close to the Brazos River. Two doves seen in an hour, then a group of 10-12 flew by (woo-hoo!)....then nothing..... then a pair of whitewings came by.
Shots fired : Zero.

Last dove killed was on the Saturday after the opener. Last year was bad, this year even worse.
