Yeah buddy! Heading out for some doves in the morning.

Might go in the afternoon for deer. Gotta wait all the way till the 8th for Maryland deer.

There's a fair amount around,I need to go get some 7 1/2 or 8 shot if I plan on shooting some.Not much meat,but they sure are tasty.

Plenty of birds in harvested wheat and mowed over sweet corn patches. Ill get to hunt Sunday and Monday.

Our season opens tomorrow. I'll have shotgun in hand as the sun rises. It's one of my favorite hunts and kicks off fall in my mind (although its going to be around 100 here for the next few days). Been seeing good numbers of doves lately.

Seeing plenty here in SE Nebr. Wheat stubble and wheat that was not combined because of drought seems to be the place I'll be Saturday A.M.. A buddy sowed millet in a couple non harvested wheat field. Appears to be a magnet for doves. Gonna be hot Sat and Sunday.

Opens this morning.

Not expecting much. There were plenty of birds until 2 days ago when we went into the 50's at night. Gone.

Happens almost every year.

Opening day of Dove season is about the only thing I miss about living in NC.
Today, is opening day in WV, I will b at the dove field. I took a half day vacation to make sure I get there in time.

Y’all Yanks got out there and shoot what you can and scare the rest South! We shooting tomorrow.

Us too

The season started just today, have no fields to go to. Need to do some more scouting and get in on some solo hunts.

Why? They are considered migratory birds just like ducks. I’d think if you had any sort of population of them then DNR would have a season for them.

I was worried 2-3 weeks ago. Wasn't seeing anything. Finally starting to see some but also been scouting a lot more. My spot tomorrow is holding 200-300 birds. Solid number of woodies and other big ducks mixed in so will have to be careful.

Went out this morning in central Iowa. Very poor opening day. Just not many birds around.

From what I saw this morning you might be waiting awhile yet for more teal. Pretty significant number moving at daylight and warm stretch of weather coming so they’ll likely hold for awhile Id imagine more come down wisconsin side of the lake to you but if we are still holding big numbers they likely are too

Opening day here. Fifteen years ago I could shoot a limit from my deck. I haven't seen a single dove today. No one seems to know why.

I’m seeing more doves at water holes in West Texas than I have ever seen in Alabama. And we put out cracked corn and rock salt !!! LoL !!

I lost 80% of my doves in last week. I think the coopers hawks have scared them off. Always patrolling over the fields.

We're in them this morning
