Today was the opener of the of the Second season here in the North Zone of Texas.....
We were holding LOTS of Doves right up to Tuesday of this week. Front came through and we had 3 small rain events over 3 days bringing a very welcome 1.45" of rain to this semi arid cow country.
Clouds broke and a sunny afternoon evolved , cool temps and a good breeze to make things plenty SPORTY.
Shot a patch of millett that was interspersed with lots of ripe ragweed and croton. Birds were not overwhelming but steady. Shot well on a presentation of long, testing shots. Limit taken well inside a box of AA 20 ga 8's
This season runs thru the 31st in our zone. I intend to make the most of it. Odds are I won't hear another shot.....Nobody out here chases Winter doves. Suits me fine.
