How many of you folks are goin Bird hunting next week?
Saturday morning I'll be in the field. After the hunt we all get together and B.B.Q. and watch S.E.C. football. September thru the new year is such a great time in the south. Football, hunting, fishing and the holidays with all the best southern cooking you can eat!
Depends on if my Doctor's let me out to roam the fields

Dove Season opens Wed. I will be out before work and after work. Yeehaw
Dove season opens here in MT on Wed. too. I'll be out after work! I can almost taste those little morsels wrapped in bacon, done perfectly on the grill............................................. .................................................. ..I'm so stoked for this hunting season!

Me! Me! Me! Doves, ducks, geese, turkeys, every now and then some pheasants and quail.
Jeffro,
Dove season starts on 1 Sep. here in Penna, but during the first season you can't hunt until 12 noon. I know it gets hot in Texas, having spent a little time at Lackland AFB in San Antonio back in the early 70's. So, your probably not going to be too sympathetic when I complain that its going to be 94 deg. here on wednesday . I'm not so much concerned about myself as I am about my two german short-haired pointers. I may have to wait until saturday (72 degs.). We do encounter a number of doves sitting tight enough in the fields for them to point. One of these years I will have to take them out for the early goose season. One of the two dogs,(Sam) in particular has been eye-balling those big honkers during the trout season and wants one in a bad way! Hope everyone enjoys the upcoming bird season as well as the late summer fishing.
Regards, Dave S. (fishdog54)
Im going dove hunting on labor day, when i finally have a day off. This isnt supposed to be a great year for them, but a bad day hunting beats a good day working. The conservation land Im hunting has a, get this, bluegill management lake with what people say are huge bluegills. Needless to say, my fly rod will be close by all day. I hope to go turkey hunting for the fist time this year.

Be going out for some Blue Grouse and some Ruff Grouse. Hope my season is better than last year. One in the bag would be a better season.

I bird hunt all year long. Here in TN., we have a year-round Open Season on English Sparrows, Pigeons, and Starlings, with no limits. And I have a WMA within walking distance (sort of...3 miles away).
They are delicious.
Early goose opened up this week, but I won't go until the leaves start falling later in the year. There's something about hunting waterfowl in shorts and shirt sleeves that is just wrong.
WAAAAHOOOOO!!!! I went out yesterday for the opening day of dove season and got my limit in just over an hour. The doves are thick up here...it's just amazing. I'm going to go out again tonight with my wife and see if I can't get another limit and maybe even a few huns.
Dave, I LOVE the early goose season...they're still pretty dumb, lol. Besides that, I can't think of anything much better than some nice fresh flambe'd goose breast on rice pilaf with some steamed veggies and a nice glass of merlot.........mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm.

Saturday evening update: Pre hunt scouting payed off. Limited on honks. One weighs close to 14 lbs.
Early goose in Oregon starts Saturday. I will be out after them if all goes well. Here is a link to some great waterfowl pictures.

TT,
Im glad to hear you had good luck. All the doves must be up in your neck of the woods. Me and 4 friends went out on Monday and only saw 4 birds, none within shooting range.

Sounds like my season. I killed the two birds which came into range opening week. Missed one yesterday, but he left a buncha feathers behind.Quote:
