"Summer time and the ammo's expensive." [View all]

[Eleanors38]

Come Labor Day, and dove season opens in the Central & North Zones of Texas.

"Prospects are good and the birds flyin' high."

Hopefully, the sun flowers are blooming in the field where last year I limited out twice. Wishing for lower temps (we are beginning to drop from 102° back to the mid-90s). I have 150 rounds of 4 different brands, an IC screwed into the 870, and a stout 5 gal bucket to stow my stuff and put my bo-hind on in the field.

If I limit out early, I'll trudge up onto the mesa and check for deer sign and acorn prospects. I'll be on 125 acres of good land for dove and deer, with a year-round spring, and a shot farm house (are there any other kinds of hunting cabins?). Looking forward to pork steaks over an open fire!

Apologies to the Gershwin Bros & Heyward.
