It's a bird. We have birds where I live.

I know how you feel I have one favorite Asian restaurant I refuse to go to any other. My favorite is their Mongolian beef and fried rice. They also make their own mustard oh boy it the best thing for a head cold order an egg roll and some of that mustard you don't feel it for a few min and then the heat hits and goes through every sinus you have it bring tears to your eyes but by the time you finish that egg roll your head cold has loosened up you walk out with watery eyes and a drippy nose. Great for the head cold but its just plain delicsious .

Lol! We have a Thai joint that we go to that has that stuff. We call it Atomic Mustard. It will blow the top of your head off for a minute, but, dang it's good!

Sounds like horse radish.

What passes for dove in your area? In Pennsylvania we had a species called Mourning Doves which made a very plaintive cooing call. They were grey and about the size of Sparrows on steroids. I could never fathom why anyone would go to the trouble of hunting them.

We have Mourning doves, and white wings as well. I guess people here hunt them because they're a challenge to knock down.

I don't hunt doves, but I know many who do. It's a social thing. You may hunt alone or not, but later you will call your buddies and have a meal of dove breast prepared in different ways. During this feast, you will lie about how good your dog is compared to theirs if said dog gently carries the bird back to you or is young and crushed it. How you trained said dog and how you shot six doves out of the sky with one shot, show off any new shotguns and a good time is had by all plus a free meal. It's was a male bonding thing and like all things male, women are finding out it's fun and joining in. Which makes the feast better too. The downside, I hear, if hunting in a group is once you get to your hunting spot, bundled up on a frosty morn, most women have to go pee. The serious female women h****rs not to be outdone have taken to wearing adult diapers. Men only groups just pee where they are. Which may explain why historically men k**l it and women cook it. Hope this helps explain dove hunting and most other hunting, that isn't about survival. If you had one or two deep freezers and could fill them up every year with meat and veggies, you can put a deep dent in your food budget and eat like a king and no GMOs.

Peewee, dove season in Texas starts Sept. 1st. You're more in danger of getting snake bit than cold. I have hunted them many times, and it is fun. The way they fly makes them a challenge to hit. I don't bother anymore since I'm just not a huge fan of their meat, but I do hunt quail.

I've lived in a lot of different places Arch, not just TX. Hunting from the backyard has got to be the best hunting there is bar none.

I lived on base in Del Rio and at daybreak, I was awakened by a rifle shot next door. Lived near the perimeter fence line. My neighbor had nailed an eight-point buck, he was a good guy so I helped him d**g the buck into his garage before the police came. They never showed and I got some nice backstrap for my assistance. It was the last day of deer season and he had seen nothing from his deer stand. He said I couldn't resist, he walked into my backyard. I said I'm not gonna snitch on you, I thought you had shot your wife or she had shot you, this is a relief.

I have no worries about law enforcement, because I'm legal. I live in the country, own the land, have my license (just in case) and can shoot my limit every day if I choose. We are almost infested with quail here. Both Bobs, and Blues. All fat, and happy since I put out feed for them year round.
Coyotes are starting to be a problem though. That can hurt the quail population.

Varmint hunting is my favorite type of hunting. Pesky hogs, coyotes, or rats. It's a twofer, the joy of the hunt and a service to my neighbors. Don't do it any longer since I now live in the city. All I asked was to be reimbursed for my ammo. I only hunted on private land and by invitation. Use to have a good friend near Utopia who was a professional hog h****r with the traps and night scope, etc... it was always a blast, pun intended. He was getting old and blind and I loved helping him.

Utopia & Vanderpool are both near my favorite state park in Texas...Lost Maples. Absolutely gorgeous country

Amen and Amen, as Bahm would say. You sure get around a lot, ever think of changing your name to Kilroy? So are you trying to visit all the state parks before you kick the bucket?
