See if I can redeem myself this morning. Up on very northern end of this lease field. Dude to my south about 125 yards away. Most everyone it seems is set up about 250 yards from the parking area. Nice not having anyone on top of me for now. Sitting about 50 off the tape boundary. Been 5 or 6 shots so far.
4x pic dude and his dog to south of me. He put out a robo dove also. About another 40 acres been cut over the boundary. This is the one time I hope robo dove works and draws in birds Nice not having any tards sitting out in front of you in the field too. I can shoot at low birds to my north and north west for the time being.
Good luck Rene hope you get some shooting. We've got a cool front with rain right now and alot of the birds have left . Did 5 trips a limit of 15 each time. Was good...mb
This field had to been cut yesterday. Ground ain't been sundried much. Soft center of corn stalks still really squishy. Green schit on field where it been cut by combine not wilted yet.
Woulda been nice to cut it 3 5 days prior and let some more birds discover it ahead of the hunt.
That schit shoulda been thought out by TWRA in comms with the farmer a little better. Weather forecast schit comes into play also I know to cut.
Great.... Watched zippy and doggy walk the western tree line for about 700 yds past all the guys on that side. Then he walks 600 yes of the northern boundary tape to set up 75 yards away from me to NW along area I can get shots at a low bird safely.
Tell zippy to move by that tree. Explain we can both get shots at a low bird safely still rather than having him and rover in front of me and rover can be in shade. Totally cok block me from anything north now. He has to know he is a dipschit..
Unbelievable the schit on a public field at times.
65 plus yr old flounder waddles up the field past everyone. Sets up 60 yds south between me and other dog guy to south of him. Then comes up to me with mt palomar glasses on he could smoke ants with on a sunny day.
Blah blah blah blah.
Dude..... I dont care what you do it is a public field. Looks at me kinda butthurt cause that is all I said.
0 birds have flown within 200 yards of this spot anyways.
Now flounder jr has showed up to sit with flounder sr.
Makes me wonder if the gawds hate me at times.
Am I like the come sit by me 2hrs after shooting light magnet and schit.
Ain't seeing birds anyways....
Shoulda stayed home and watched teletubbies, even though 2 of em are sitting next to me now... ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I like the thread and admire your ambition to get out there and do it, but I'm not sure I could share a public field like that without having a friggin meltdown. BTW I've never once ever hunted doves, we just don't have the numbers here.

You have way more control than I. I just couldnโt restrain myself from calling those fookers out. Reminds me of a midweek morning crappie fishing on LOZ when my sons were just starting out, we put on before day light. Went to an open bank and waited of daylight. I was not fishing much and working with the boys. I can see about a mile up the main channel both ways, after 30 mins I hear the first boat of the day. See it making its way up the lake from a distance. Didnโt think much of it until I heard him cut his motor back. I turned to see him coming right at me. First thought was it is the game warden. Nope, 2 ass hats [bleep] down and start fishing within 3 boat lengths of me. 2 freaking boats as far as you can see and they had to fish the same 100โ bank Iโm on.
I mouthed off something about it being a big lake and they both looked at each other and continued to fish. I told the boys to put their poles away and I blew out of there to one of the 100โs of other spots.
I had a VERY distinctive boat and word got back to me about 2 dudes talking about how they had pisses some guy off and described my boat. Turned out that one of them was from my hometown and I let it be known in our local circles what the true story was and they were crucified.
Morale of the story, those fookers will get whatโs coming.

Uh huh...
Trees 60 ft tall behind me 15ft away and 40 acres of cut corn in front of me.
Think my odds are better off watching the feild than trying to react watching the tree line for overhead zoomies???
Maybe a 5' pole with a socket on top then find a dead tree top with some horizontal limbs on it. Use some dove decoys on the limbs about 3 I'd say then set it in the socket get them 7-9' up in the air. Prolly won't land but if it gets you a in range pass shot what the hell. Mb

Field ain't been cut but 1 day. They shoulda let it cook 4 or 5 days after cutting to attract more birds in before opening it.
They could have given themselves a buffer to set a date well before hand even given weather.
Ain't the 1st time a leased field has be done last minute cut like this even though it was announced 3 or 4 weeks prior.
Lease Ends on sunday. Next weekend I bet this field will be full of birds hitting it.
Is what it is . Better than being at the house watching TV right now. ๐๐๐

That always happens when Iโm taking a piss. ๐ฌ
Lol taking a piss, grabbing the water bottle ,knawing on an apple, biting a snack, spooling up the phone whatever you got 2-3 seconds if there coming at you less than 1 sec if coming from behind and it's yoube gettner time. No time to lose makes them fast and furious tv turds look like their jacking their root. That's dove hunting...mb

You sworn off CiCiโs ? ๐ณ
When we go hunt my Buddyโs Ranch over near Coleman, TX we always have to hit a little Mom & Pop Joint called โ Best Fried Chickenโ. Think Churchโs Chicken, without the Groids, ran by a little old white family in their 3 generation of owning it. They donโt throw the pieces of chicken in the deep frier till you place your order. Itโs so damn hot when they bring it out itโll remove all the skin from the roof of your mouth and scald your tongue so bad you wonโt be able to taste anything for a month. We always have to worn the newbies we take with us to โlet it cool a little, for you take a biteโ Only other thing they serve are french fries, hush puppies, homemade rolls, and homemade peach and apple fried pies. He who shoots the worse has to buy dinner. Itโs a 2 hour drive from the Ranch, so I havenโt made it over there yet to see if they have any doves. Still zilch here at the Ranch. That little cool front and 6โs of rain blew out what few local birds we had. And Iโve yet to fire a shot this year. Might have to head to Coleman and try it next week sometime. Itโs well worth the trip for the fried chicken alone. ๐ค
Went to the gas station for a quick lunch yesterday. I had a bottle of Pepsi, a 1.5 liter bottle of water, two chicken strips and two buffalo chicken "taquitos".
The Biden voters President says that its no big deal....but that meal alone was near 16 dollars.

Come at me you Biden loving cogcsuckers!
I am MAGA.
I've never had one, but my brother has warned me, not matter how hungry to not try the buffalo rollers (taquitos) at any convenience store.
So far I've been able to resist. Mostly go for a slice of microwavable pizza.
rene, sad about your public lands experience this morning. I'd be sending that pic of the warden driving across the field to the Commissioners. Right over the head of the department folks above him. Hope the Corral is good tonight.

You need a Sam's Club.
I done a hotdog combo with THREE big cups of pink lemonade, a cinnamon pretzel and frozen chocolate yogurt for less than four dollars. Then I sashayed through the food section and grazed on the free samples for lunch today.

You obviously don't have Kwik Trips where you live. I think it's mostly a Midwestern thing? Great food and even better prices. Kwik Trip has been voted best convenient store in the US for several years running. Check em out when you're in this neck of the woods.
