Septmember 24 | Ranell | It has been a great week! The weather has been cooler and we received anywhere from .1 of rain to around .75 inches of rain.
When scouting for dove Wednesday evening I saw more dove than I have seen in a long time.
Thursday night we received the majority amount of rain but most of the dove held.
The morning hunts have been slow since it has been so cool…but the afternoons have been good.
Saturday afternoon was really warm but nice and most hunters got their limit or at least had more than an opportunity to get their limit.
The weather is supposed to hold for the next 10 days, with the highs being in the upper 80s-low 90s and the lows being in the upper 50s and low 60s.
This is nice fall weather and should hold birds here. There is still plenty of feed on the ground and hunting near water. |
Septmember 18 | Ranell | Dove hunting has been interesting this year thus far. We have had several fronts push through already which seems to be earlier than usual.
We have had many good hunts, but have had some slow hunts as well which is not unusual, that is just dove hunting!
We still have plenty of food sources for the dove on the ground. The only good thing about the dry weather is it has not
sprouted the wheat seed that is on the ground which has allowed the dove to have their feed source readily available.
It seems Friday morning we had lots of dove that had pushed down overnight. The dove, for the most part, had left out mid week,
so this livened up our hunting. Hunters had the opportunity to kill limits in certain areas Friday evening and Saturday morning.
It was a little over 90 degrees Saturday afternoon, so we hunted by water and a good food source near water.
That is just what we had ordered! Those Big Northern birds were flying and limits were had…..looks like another front and chance of rain on
Thursday. Come on rain! |
Septmember 1 | Ranell | The Grand Opening of the Hunting Season started at Ranger Creek Ranch,
September 1, with Dove Season! In spite of the hot and dry weather conditions
that Knox and Baylor Counties and most of the entire state of Texas has
experienced this spring and summer, the dove hunting has gone quite well.
Limits of dove have been taken over failed wheat acres and water holes.
We have had to hunt a little differently this year and have told all our
customers to have low expectations of the dove this year.....everyone
has been pleasantly surprised. We have been telling our customers only
to expect great food, atmosphere, and hospitality this year....but actually
limits have been taken in only a few hours of hunting. Keep in mind it
is not our usual hunting here, but it is good. Sunday morning the "Norther" blew in, and made it about 20 degrees cooler than it has been....the weather was nice but the dove hunkered down and did not fly as well......... We have hosted dove hunts for 25 years and have had some of the same
customers coming out for this length of time. We appreciate our loyal
customers that know we continue to strive for the best on our ranch. |  |
