Hunting Doves in Hondo Texas














 The hunting was amazing again in Hondo.

We hunted for three days and had an excellent time.  The birds were in big numbers and we had all different conditions.

Birds in big groups, birds as solos and high flying birds.

At times it was more of a tactical game you had to wait and let birds that were high,  flyover and wait for the shot and then take it.  My great friends,  Chris, Paul, Garrett, Lucas and I got limits of Whitewings all three days.    We were out there in the moment, it was great.



















As we move into dove season the doves become more wary and smarter and you have to become smarter to.

It's really a waiting game but pick a bird get the AIM on him----lead him the right amount and take the shot.
























What I love about Dove season is it's mono e mono you against the birds.

As these birds came over the trees when they were flying fast you have to be ready get your game on and lead  the bird and make your shot.

It was a great time with friends something I'll never forget and we'll do it all over again next year.






















I shoot a shotgun with both eyes open, I look over the barrel and I focus on the amount of lead to give the bird.


















Whitewing season was again amazing.

Our next trip is Colorado.















Knowledge is power in the outdoors.  Thanks for your time today and will see you next time.
