West Central Texas and our ongoing drought combined with 103*F+ temps have thankfully not hurt our nearly week old season. Birds have found something to eat that is keeping them around. Waterhole shooting has been my staple thus far. With temps like this it is the only safe way to give my dog an outing. The scarce water sources that remain available provide red hot action every evening. With multiple stock wells on the ranch I am able to rotate my shoots and not pressure any one spot.
Texas P&W reports that dove numbers are up 30+% over last years record numbers. Hard to figure but I am going to take advantage of every opportunity. Limits have been coming easy and my shooting is holding up to a nice standard. Indeed fortunate to be still doing this.
Good luck to all.
