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 (Feb. 12)

GOOD. Water stained; 59 degrees; 0.21 feet below pool. The lower end is running 62-65 degrees, the upper end is 57-61 degrees. Target grass, if you can find some, with dropshots, jerkbaits and Alabama rigs. Some fish can be caught skipping green pumpkin senkos under shallow docks. The Colorado River is producing bass along the rocks with Alabama rigs. Start looking for fish to stage shallow to spawn with the coming full moon and water temperatures in the 60s. Report by Charles Whited, Barefoot Fishing Tours. Crappie are good in 25-30 feet on brush and boulders with minnows. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Bass are good near laydowns and brush piles with jigs, Texas rigged soft plastics, lipless crankbaits and square and some days a spinner baits. Bigger fish are 14-20 feet and as shallow as 5 feet. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs.
