2007 Dove Hunting Reports
September 04, 2007
Well, the Central Zone opener has come and gone. Overall, it was a pretty decent one for the hunters, and a tough one for us, monetarily. A lot of our leased country around Hubbard didn't have squat for birds, so we were forced to move all of our dove hunters to the Waco area.  There were plenty of birds there for the first day, and anyone that didn't get a limit, truly should have. Paying for all that leased land that we didn't hunt sure hurt our pocket book though. Turning away a mess of hunters that called the last minute hurt us, too, but we hate to put people in fields that we know do not have doves using them, and we won't overcrowd our fields too bad, like so many other outfitters do, so we sent them last minute hunters on down the road. I hope they found a good hunt somewhere.
.
The second morning was scary for us. It didn't start out too good at all. What birds we saw were real early, or too high. The afternoon, however, really picked up. We only hunted two of our farms. One farm turned out downright great. The other was a real decent shoot. Most people on the slower farm went through a box and half of shells. Most shot two boxes or more. Many people got their limits, and nobody there can honestly tell me they shot at less than a limit of doves, so the opportunity was there. Anyone that didn't get their limit on the better farm really should think about spending their money at a skeet range, rather than in a dove field. Some people shot more than 100 shells, just in the afternoon.
.
Monday went about like Sunday did. The morning was pretty slow, but the afternoon got plenty good.
.
One thing that everybody agreed on was that the food every day at lunch was AWESOME!
.
We did not offer any of the Special Whitewing Zone hunts this year, because there were very few birds using our land in that area. Like I said, we hate to put people in a field knowing that there will be few or no doves there. The only way we'll do that is if we just don't have any birds anywhere near there, and it's too late to cancel the hunt.

About Texas Dove Hunting

Doves are truly "migratory birds" in every sense of the word. I have seen fields full of dove one day, and two days later there were very few to be found. I have also seen it the other way around, where it goes from darn few to literally 100's, even 1000's of dove, in just a day or even less. One thing is certain though; if you have dove food available to the birds, you will at some point in time, have birds around to shoot. So, that is where we concentrate our efforts; in making sure we have food available to any birds that would like to show up for dinner. We have sunflower fields, which are a favorite early season dove food. We also have the usual milo, corn and wheat fields, which can be great, depending on how the farmer's manage their crop. We even have access to some large areas of preferred native vegetation, like Conchograss, Barnyardgrass and Kleingrass, all of which mourning dove will fly past a lot of things to get to. We also have croton or crotonopsis fields (better know as "doveweed"). They call this stuff doveweed for a reason; doves love it, and in middle to late season these doveweed fields can yield some plum awesome hunting. We also hunt a lot of whitewing flyways, catching these flocking birds as they leave and return to the roosting areas. These pass shoots can be barrel burners at times (usually very early in the season, before they go to Mexico). If all else fails, we maintain a few stock tanks where the birds regularly go for an evening drink. Many an otherwise so-so dove hunting trip has been saved by a 15 minute flurry of ultra-fast paced shooting at one of these water tanks. And how do we know which of our many, many fields to take y'all to? WE SCOUT OUR BUTTS OFF! Many a mile has been driven by our scouts, watching carefully for bird activity on or over our places. Based on group size, weather, your vehicle limitations and our scouting reports, we will put you where we feel you have the best chance of shooting a limit of birds each and every day.
