In addition to prime conditions heading into the opener, dove populations have thrived this year thanks to the amount and timing of spring rains across most of the state that kicked habitat into high gear for dove breeding season. “With the abundant highly- preferred dove foods available on the landscape this year, we’re seeing excellent produc- tion,” said Owen Fitzsimmons, TPWD dove program leader. “White-winged dove produc- tion, in particular, has been very high in the southern half of the state. Plus, many of the states to the north had similar spring habitat conditions, which should result in a strong influx of migrant birds for Texas later in the season. I’m excited about the prospects this season, it should be fantastic.” Dove hunting is huge in Texas, with a deep culture that spans generations. Each fall, more than 300,000 Tex- as hunters take to the field where they harvest nearly one third of all mourning doves taken nationwide each year, on average an estimated 10 million birds, far more than any other state. While those statistics may appear stagger- ing, consider Texas supports breeding populations of over 34 million mourning and 10 million white-winged doves, and those numbers rise even higher during the fall when birds from northern latitudes funnel south. The regular dove season in the North Zone runs Sept. 1-Nov. 12 and resumes Dec. 20-Jan.5, 2020. The regular season in the Central Zone is Sept. 1-Nov. 3, then resumes Dec. 20-Jan.14, 2020. The regular season in the South Zone is Sept. 14-Nov. 3 and Dec. 20-Jan. 23, 2020. The Special White-Winged Dove Days in the South Zone are Sept. 1-2 and 7-8. Texas hunters should note the Sunday start to the sea- son in the North and Central Zones, as well as for the Special White-Winged Dove Days this year due to calendar shift, but hopefully hunters will be able to take advantage of Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 2, too. South Zone hunters should also be sure to double-check their calendars this year for what is an unfamiliar Satur- day start, also due to calendar shift and federal restrictions on opening dates that prohibit starting the South Zone season prior to Sept. 14. “Over the years, TPWD has worked very hard to open up Page 6 Livestock Weekly August 29, 2019 The Aug. 1 Cattle on Feed re- lbs. $136.30, 700-750 lbs.
