Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Doves Dying in this cold.

I see a lot more White Wings here in town than I do at the Ranch, 60 miles north of here. We kill usually half Whitewings & half morning doves ate the Ranch, though.
And hunting at my buddies Ranch in Coleman, which is 60 miles south of here,we hardly ever shoot a Whitewing.
We also go on a yearly dove hunt on opening day in San Angelo, and it's all Whitewings.

Also, I've seen a couple of coveys of Blue Quail at the Ranch in the last three years. And we haven't seen them before since the late 1970's. I have not hunted them, but I'm hoping by protecting the Covey's I have seen, that we will have a hunt-able population in a season or two.
