I do miss hunting doves in Texas, a good time for sure, the joke was a C note a day to hunt them in the early 80's, whats a guy gotta pay today to get in a good shoot ?
There weren't many whitewings back then, and they were even protected, in some places we hunted! A good cooler was a must too !
Hunting on my land and on the family farm in Ks, Sept 1 and 2. My self, my son, my three brothers, and at least two nephews. Noon on Sept 1 is a big shrimp boil, with appropriate beverage in moderation. Been doing it many years. Can’t wait.
If those are the same Mourning Doves we have in Iowa, there can't be much meat on one.
That's why you need 15 of them to make a mess of dove meat!
I truly love to cook and eat fried dove breasts rolled in flour, pan fried in grease, gravy made from the drippin's, mashed taters, a good pot of beans, and cornbread!
Peach cobbler for desert!
Yummm!
I may have to go try my hand at dove hunting soon! I'm getting hungry!
We’ll be out there sitting by a pond or in a fence line somewhere in the blazing heat. One of my favorite hunts and it kinda kicks off our hunting season for the fall.
Used to hang out with a friend of mine at his wife's grandparents house in the city limits. We would be on the patio and the doves would be in the trees and walking around in the driveway, there was at least 2 dozen or more at all times. They were as safe as could be

Did not put in for any F&W drawings. Might go the weekend after.
Might not
My job is hot n nasty. Really like to not get cooked on my days off
One of the things I look for is shade source thru out the day.
I got a shade shelter cover it with burlap, 2 can sit in it on comfortable fold up chairs and adjust it as the sun moves Bout 4.5 ft tall Half moon shaped.
Used it one year on post . Saved myself and slumlord thruout the day. Watched alot of people roast out in the sun. Offered to let a 80 something yr old guy sit in my place. Dude was red as a beet after an hour or so. His hard headed pride wouldnt allow him. He left the feild about an hour later in mid afternoon. I offered....... Big difference in being hard, and being hard and stupid. JMO....
That same day I gave a guy a old tarp I had in my ruck. So he could make shade for his lab. Who was needing shade bad. The guy accepted my offer. Told him to keep the tarp at the end of the day for future use. Dog retrieved 4 or 5 birds for me and slumlord in some really knarly Creek brush on the border of the feild.
