My son and I had a blast. We didnt exactly come home with much to brag about, but we did well. Thought I'd share a few pics...

Opening day we hunted in Terrell and I picked up 7 birds, 27 total between 4 people.






This past weekend we hunted near Grand Saline and we picked up 70 birds between 7 folks on both the morning and afternoon hunt including a few Eurasian doves

Sweet Over/Under. Is it a 20/12?

Nice Eurasian. Hadent seen any this year.

We went back out this weekend and limited out. Wasnt easy though. I could have done it quicker, but I couldnt hit a thing the second day. 2 1/2 boxes of shells for 15 birds. :thinking:

Opening day was good in Hico, not as good as last year but my uncle and i shot the most out of 70 hunters. Alot of bitching that day. Went to Turkey this past weekend, dove where few and far between, atleast flying ones. They were all posted up on high lines. I shot 5 on the small 8 acres i was on. I didnt get a couple of huge Ringnecks's though.

Managed to bag 8 with my 1187. For some reason the doves were really flying high, especially the flocks, really only had a chance to get stragglers. Might be worth bringing a second shotgun with a full choke just to pick off the high flyers.

Did any of you try those mojo decoys, can't say I'm convinced they work or not.

Mojo's? Buy one. Trust me. They are dove magnets.

I have 4 of them. Dont always use all 4, manly 2 at a time.

Here. Watch this and tell me what you think. This was my son and I this past Saturday morning.

Mojos are a MUST for dove. Duck is a different story, but for dove absolutely they work.

Doves always land and take off against the wind. Set the mojos appropriately.
