There have been times that the doves are so thick you can't keep your gun loaded. We'll hunt 80 acres with about 16-20 guys and we'll all limit out. We always figure opening weekend we harvest over 1200 birds. We hunt around the Lawton area if that helps you out any? Typically we're behind our bails30 minutes before sunrise (legal to shoot, but you can't see anything yet) and just about when the sun is cresting the birds start hitting the fields hard. I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

Last year I had an odd predicament; I had 14 birds in my bag when a couple of birds flew through the field. I pulled up and shot the lead bird and a close follower fell as well. Great, now I have 16 birds 1 over limit. I emailed our game warden to ask him if I broke the law, he told me "Yes you did, and I shouldn't have taken that shot." FYI
