Those opening-day doves didn’t ride the front down from Kansas. Most of them hatched within a few miles of the sunflower field you’re sitting on.
White-winged doves went from 110,000 birds to 12.9 million. Eighty-four percent of them now live in town — urban density is 86 times rural. We go through 9,000 years of Texas dove history, 60,000 banded birds, why early season is homegrown birds, and the one tillage change that can keep birds on your place.

Getting Your Kids Into Hunting

The conventional answer is "get kids into it." But TPWD's own R3 plan quietly says something different. In this episode: what the data actually shows, why dove is the right first hunt, the $7 youth license, and the 2026-27 youth season dates worth putting on your calendar.

Bass Vision: Your Tacklebox Needs Four Colors
A team from Illinois and Cornell measured 246 individual cone cells in largemouth bass eyes and found only two types — one green, one red. No blue cone at all. Then they tested it on live fish: bass couldn't tell chartreuse from white, or blue from black.
The takeaway is four buckets: bright, green, red, and dark.
