Texas "National" Holiday - Opening Day of Dove Season
Had my 12ga DH out this morning for a great time. Birds weren't super plentiful, but I had plenty of shooting. Should have had my 15 bird limit, but I started the day 0/9. Got the kinks worked out and started hitting. Got a few doubles. Ended the shoot with 11 mourning dove (no whitewings this morning) and 1 pigeon, just for good measure, before heading in to the office for a while.
My son has a 5-mo old Pudelpointer. We're about to head out for an afternoon hunt with the pup. I'll leave my gun in the truck and just be along for the ride and for dog training tips this evening. https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoors/...1_072136-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoors/...1_073606-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoors/...1_075558-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoors/...1_081119-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoors/...1_085234-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoors/...1_094650-L.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Outdoors/...1_094724-L.jpg |

Nice pictures Shane,
Our opening day was rained out, planning to go after them this afternoon. Stan Hoover |
I'm in the same boat as Stan. We got reeeeally rained out yesterday but today is going to be 72* , sunny and tolerable conditions for the dogs. Can't leave the pups home you know.

Waiting for the south zone opening. Birds around Katy are few and far between. 25 years of great hunts and then no mas.
