Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dove Season~Lookin' For Dove In All The Wrong Places!

Bud shaded his dog when we went. Fave field has a gap. No shade.
Limit out there, for decades.

But im older and weaker now....maybe a touch of lazy.

I cant do bug sprays and allergies worse.
Hunting for birds dropped behind in the thick.....those days done. Dog was nice last few yrs for that.

Dog too old to go now.

One field, 2nd best.......have to let a lot of em pass, or drop em in the jungle.

Bunch of camo fashion plate fuggers skybusting last time.
Some rubes too......dropped some at 60 yards. Steel my ass.

No DNR showed up.

Had some old timers crowd right on top day 1. They limited out, left. I limited out an hr after

But still pissed me off how they hogged an area like they did, when we were there first.

Kinda close to Chicago.....so ya get some real winners.
But man, it used to be darn good dove hunting there.

Haha

Remember one red haired guy, aka lobster boy by 4:30 on post


Then that year in Guthrie, that old man that stood in that in that standing corn for several hours baking his ass off. Think it was close to 100 degrees that weekend, never seen him fire a shot for several hours


I did one at TVA before there was a renegade50 in my life, it was 102 that afternoon. No shade on that. That was in that meteorite crater.

We learned after picking our fields ( pick order by drawing ).....to make a mad dash to the field, put a chair where we wanted to be, then go back to town to eat.

Opening 2 days shooting is noon to 6.
And hardly any birds first 2 hrs.

Subway sammich and a big cold pop.....sitting in the AC.....lookin at all the hotties coming and going at the truck stop.

Not.

Da Region.....lots of poles. Big n pasty gals.
More like a stockyard.

On some Harley route i guess.
Some actually hot ones pop up now and then.
Some old saddle leather ones too.

But usually biguns. Local.

Going to Burnet county, may get a few over the watering holes.

Hey hookeye.
You repeated this post like 5 times man.


I will hit a feild on opening day at 8 830 ish to do a land grab for prime shade .
Based on a prior recon.

Then you always got the knuckleheads arriving 2 hours after shooting time
Walking across the middle of a field fugging everyone up.
Cause they seen a "Prime treeline" from the parking area.

Wah wah wah . ..

Im already their
Slumlord shows uo about 1030 1100 ish
Got his chair 35 50 yards away.
Already did meet and greet with other hunters within 100 yds each side of me that arrive early 9 to 930 ish.
All agree 50 yds apart is GTG.
Talk about areas in front of us safe to shoot at low birds with terrian in backstop.
Just normal stuff.


Then the fugg tards arrive and discover 6 or 7 guys along 200 250 yds all on the same sheet of music about spacing and safety schit.

They get all upset and do ignorant schitt like go out in front of 6 or 7 guys 75 80 yds on a terrian crest in feilds of fire and others on opposite side.

While fughing guys on both sides are yelling at dickhead to get out of their .
And useless wardens see it all and dont say a word.

Slumlord had pics from last year of a dipschit that did this for 45 mins.


Some people are really fughing ignorant on purpose....

Here it is from the other thread.

Fugging ignorant azzhole fugging up everyones hunting.
You can see the terrian we was able to shoot into on low birds safely.

One of these days Buddy! 🤠

I'm hunting a sunflower field on Tuesday Sept. 1 . There will be 40 hunters with wife/girlfriend and kids for lunch with an organized bird hunt beginning at 2:30 .

Already have 4 cases of 7.5 , will probably only shoot 2 boxes .

Same field we have hunted for 10 years usually kill 300 to 500 birds on opening day in this field . Only had one year with no birds. This weather that 's blowing in may ruin it this year but as of now the field is full of dove. Always have a visit from the good guys from TWRA .

I alway dread the heat . Staying hydrated is a must . The only shade is a tree line in one end of the field and the birds come in flying a little high . Some of the best shooting is dead in the middle of the field in the direct sun . I have a camo chair with canopy and a hay bale already marking my spot . I'm planning to throw a couple of Mojo doves decoys out limit pretty quick and give my spot to somebody else . Then I will sit in the shade with cold beverage .

I expect everyone to be done shooting by 1800 hours . Then meet up at the barn to clean birds and enjoy cold beverages.

Aint never been on a private land hunt.
Would be cool to see etiquette going on.

Only places I dont experience fugged up schit going on is on Ft campbell feilds or cut corn feilds in small game areas on post during dove seasons

Twra leased public fields and too some extent WMA,s are like Caligula,s freak show....

At least 1/2 of the people on twra public leased feilds are just plain ignorant slob hunters.



The wma,s maybe 1 or 2 out of 10 are jackwagons.


The month has a R in it and the start of fall hunting......

“ Dars less an less hunners ebbery yeer . “



Where is this happening? 😐

Around 20 guys from my Predator Calling Club and I will be hunting crop fields with irrigation canals down by the Saltan Sea Cochella valley Imperial County CA on the first.

Only thing I left out is everybody needs to write a check if you want to be invited back next year .

This is the first time in 3 years that I've seen mourning dove in our area - but only a few.
Up until 3 years ago, we usually had good populations - beginning in early summer.
We got a cold snap that drove the dove out, and they have JUST started to return.
Looking at maybe going down to Roswell for a hunt. (I hope)

I hope you all have some luck!!

Heading out Monday morning to my "beer lease"

Season starts here Tuesday morning.

Maybe this year..........






Been a couple years since I've had a good season



Have a couple prime spots with water and shade!






ya!





GWB

Good luck G.W.!
