TPW made a statement on the dove population being drastically affected by the freeze. Around my house/town we found dozens of frozen dove along fence rows. Crazy! I have never been In Weather cold enough to freeze anything alive.

Been awful here around Lubbock. Fields that I have never NOT shot a limit are producing 2 birds. Normally I get a bonus birds of Eurasian and pigeons, barely seeing any.
Hadn’t really thought about the freeze, and while we were cold here, we have more severe freezes before and I don’t recall them having this impact on local birds.
Cool front pushed through last night, but the sept full moon isn’t until 9/22. May be a better late season year once northern birds start pushing in

I got the same issue at my place.
I remember growing up, we’d get our limits every hunt in a couple of hours.
But the last 6 years. I’d see ay least 5 or less a hunt maybe get one or 2 if I’m lucky.
My property is surrounded by hundreds of acres of corn, and milo fields.
I think the issue is there’s just too many dove hunters in the area, that we’d get the left overs from what people missed.
