DOVE SEASON OPEN!
I've been VERY busy at the office this past week and haven't even had much time to think about dove season, though I hadn't forgotten it. Finally hit a good stopping place about four pm Friday and want to buy license(s.) I now have a Super-Duper Combo Hunting & Fishing license with ALL the options--Waterfowl, turkey, big game small game, plus fresh water and salt water fish, and federal waterfowl stamp. As far as the papers go, I am legal to shoot/stick/hunt/hook/net/gig/"and by other lawful means take" pretty much whatever walks, runs, climbs, scampers, flies, swims, amphibiates (you like that one? Just made it up.) or otherwise traverses the Lone Star State, and for which there is an open season or no protection.
While in line, met an old friend and had a nice visit. I'll be hunting on his land this afternoon, as i have for most of the past 25 years. He has a pretty decent private range, too, and if the birds aren't flying, I can go check the sights on my new/old 10/22.
Too much to do, but,
Life is Good.
Best to all,
Johnny
