Are you ready for the dove season?

Dove Numbers Continue to Soar:

According to Texas Parks & Wildlife Department if you were impressed by last year's dove turnout, this season's forecast is even better. White-winged dove numbers continue to soar, and mourning dove numbers are expected to be above average.

It's always a good idea to look over the dove identifier so you know which birds to avoid. You'll find it and all your need-to-know on the Dove Season Checklist.

Regulation Changes:

New for the 2018-2019 hunting season:
Our extended 90-day season continues, with opening day begins a half-an-hour before sunrise on Sept. 1 in the North and Central Zones. The South Zone also opens on Sept. 1 due to Special White-Winged Dove Days, with shooting hours noon to sunset. The South Zone regular season opens on Sept. 14, a week earlier than in previous years. The daily bag limit for all zones is 15. Refer to this season's Outdoor Annual for details.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

FAIR. Water clear; 70 degrees; 0.02 feet below pool. Stripers fair to good. Live bait is the most consistent way to put fish in the boat but some can be caught trolling lures. Look for them in 30-50 feet. Good colors are white, chartreuse, and silver. Sand bass are fair to slow, and you will definitely have to look for them. They are scattered in 10-20 feet of water using live shad or small slabs and jigs in white or silver. Catfish are good. Cut shad is producing good numbers of fish in 2-10 feet and 40-60 feet of water. Water clarity is steady at 4-10 feet of visibility. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service. Bass are good on topwaters in the mornings, then using worms later in the day in 8-15 feet of water. Report by JK Outdoors Bass Fishing Guide Service.
