What are your thoughts on this? Sure seems like fewer and fewer ducks in Texas each year now.

Still some time to get out and chase dove!

And according to the report we have coming out in Friday's issue of LSON, the best dove hunting of the season might be happening right now.

Dove season is still alive and well and open, folks! We’ve seen more pictures and heard of more people dove hunting this second (“winter”) season than we have in a long time, which is awesome. Plenty of time left to get in a few more hunts!

North Zone ends Jan. 7.
Central Zone ends Jan. 14.
South Zone ends Jan. 22.

Anyone kill any big spikes this season? (Or mature 4 pts as Patrick correctly noted)

One of the most unique bucks I’ve seen this year! Would you take this buck or let it walk?

A huge congrats to our $10 Buck Hunt winner, Vivian Leopold. Vivian spent the weekend at the 3 Amigos Ranch, who were outstanding hosts, and she hunted hard for this mature 10-point buck.
Thank you to Vivian and all of those who purchased a ticket to win the hunt. Every dollar raised goes to provide opportunity in the outdoors with the Lone Star Outdoor News Foundation. Stay tuned for next year's raffle.
Congrats again, Vivian!
