No dove hunters this year?

[Sleeper]

I havnt went at all. Plus archery deer opener is today. So no dove for me this year. Just to busy.

Maybe if i see a few around the house ill blast them once i slow down.We have a long season here.

Damn nice axis! We have had better luck in the evenings. They seemed to be flying in larger groups in the evening rather than 2's and 3's in the morning.

Our group cleaned up in Del Rio. Picked up a limit each day and added some Collarded Doves.



Shot 22 Teal as well.

Funky Axis deer

Picked up a few birds last night outside of Terrell. Going out again in Van, TX this weekend. We have a big bird hunt coming up in Del Rio the following weekend, they are covered in white wings now so hopefully they stick around

Nice, where about were you? We are heading outside of Breckinridge Friday.

Lol I wasn't concerned about the taste as much as I was about where its been.

I go down on sluts too......

I did not make it into the field until this evening.

Thank you Denny for hosting the pic for me.




I have eaten a feral cat before and liked it; pigeons from anywhere taste a whole lot better.

Most of the time I use my hands or a Red Baron tuff duty net. I have also used a laundry hamper, ruler, 15 ft length of para cord, and some bird seed.

Lol I wasn't concerned about the taste as much as I was about where its been. Maybe I'm just being a sissy but eating an animal out of the city seems gross. Akin to eating a fish out of the Trinity (by the city). But hey man if that's what works for you then more power to you.

You ate pigeons from the city? Gross. And how were you catching them?

Any field reports?

[Danny46]

Haha! Tell Sammy to EAD!


That's really cool, bro! Thanks for getting that together for them.

I'm just the liaison, can't take credit for it, this is all the doing of a generous property owner and cabelas throwing in some shells.

The battery mojos work better if you mix in some wind doves and static decoys.

[GeorgeG.]

aaaanyway.....

For those that hunted this morning, how did you do? Were your mojos effective? Something I noticed this morning (last year too) is that the doves seem to not give two shits about the decoys. I have three of the battery powered mojos and they don't bother with them. I've tried facing them into the sun, facing them away from me, even went out later in the morning and faced them in the direction they seemed to be flying...nothing.

Actually I take that back, one was attracted to them but it was a young bird.

I ended up with 6 in the bag, couldn't find one, and should've hit another 3-4

If you're talking about the Mockingbird location by SMU, they don't own that. They own very little of the real estate they're sitting on.

Dallascad.org is your friend. 3072 Mockingbird Ln.

They own their own little slice of it while the rest of the property is owned by a non profit.

I am intimately familiar with who owns what in that part of town. If you want to discuss who owns what in the area please start another thread.

Groupe Le Duff's CEO owns a home here and is a client of mine; I have permission.

Edit: Rock pigeons are not considered a game animal in this state.
