Well, the Oh 'fficial opening day of hunting season is less than a month away.....I've been out quite a bit to the IV and there seems to be a $hit load of birds this year..... :clap:

One thing I've noticed is, how many mourning doves are in cut and dried bermuda fields....White-wings are in the usual places, cut corn, wheat, and sunflowers....Daytime roosts are always the same with dead trees being their favorites............:blush:

Scouting is always the key..............;)

Steve, sounds like you were maybe in the north valley around Wister and the DFW fields. I didn’t see that many mournings the other day in the mid valley area. Although a 3 acre tree cluster next to a cut corn field was absolutely loaded with white wings. There were a few ECDs mixed in, but it would’ve been trouble if I tried to shoot em because white wings look so similar to me when they’re flying.
 
Kevin,

I've been mostly on the west side near Westmoreland...I haven't been near Wister yet...May go out there Wednesday.
