Dove report

[walker1983]

Lots in Shackelford Co. Something about sunflowers and mesquite pasture.

I feel like the numbers are nowhere near where they were 2 weeks ago

The flight patterns over my office in San Marcos have been empty

I've got bigger flocks flying over my house now than before Harvey. They are flying early though.

We are hunting off of Altwein in the morning. Hoping for a decent hunt. Not seeing nearly as many birds as before Harvey.

Be right around the corner from you. The birds are flying early in the afternoon instead of later in the evening.

Clay doesn't get up until 9am so he probably misses them.

I'm headed up to the northwest part of Throckmorton county this afternoon and will report on what I am seeing.

How about the New Braunfels area? Anybody hear how the birds are around there?

Not sure about surrounding areas though

We have lots of bird at the ranch in Fisher county. We have a big field in the middle that is full of sunflowers and has a tank right beside the field. Hundreds of birds in that field as we speak. Should be a good opener.

The 3 days of north wind didn't blow them out?

I like your report a lot better than the one from my neighbor though!

We can hold a 150 hunters over sunflowers. Houston hunters called and are out 100% due to Joto Harvey. We have some birds

I am still coming down!

N.W. Throckmorton county is slow and boring.

I saw probably 30 mourning doves and two huge flocks of whitewings here in northeastern Washington county. I was set up in a bad spot and everything was crossing my field about 75 yds away from me. Instead of re-positioning me and my three youngsters I decided to stick it out where I was. I killed one bird in the 2.5 hours my 2 year olds attention span allowed me to hunt. I have more people showing up for the evening hunt so hopefully that will help scatter the birds some more. Another thing I noticed was all the doves I saw were big mature birds. Didn't see any of the young mojo kamikazies I'm used to seeing on opening day. Good luck to all making the evening hunt.

So is Southern Throckmorton Cnty - Probably the least excited I have been for opening weekend in several years. Just not many birds around right now
