Texas "National" Holiday - Opening Day of Dove Season

[Keith Doty]

Greg, I live in the Houston area and have hunted the Katy area for many years, doves and water fowl. I think the lack of agriculture has destroyed what was an excellent hunting area. Those vast subdivisions are a poor substitute for rice and milo fields. Lots of fields I guided hunts in 35 years ago are gone to development.

I totally agree. Pine monoculture has done it to a lot of formerly good places around here.
