Dove and early (resident Canada's) Goose opens friday, the 1st. We can take 5 geese per day and 15 doves. The Collared Dove has been invading so they're not included in the bag; no limit. I have only seen them 50 miles south of Nashville, so they haven't become well populated as of yet. Our Teal season is mid September but only lasts 5 days. Second goose is in October but the limit falls to 2 per day (just in case a stray "wild" bird is around). Then we're closed until late November. Usually a weekend duck hunt, then we close until the first weekend of December, running until late Jan. Arkansas just set their season so most of my plans are to hunt south of Stuttgart with one of my guide friends. Went over last weekend to hog hunt but it was 102 degrees and they were as dry as a bone. Just started getting rain this week and some guy from the Outdoor Channel shot a pig with a bow. They're supposed to air it next season in 2007. I'll go back when the weather is cooler and hopefully the rains have replenished the ground with moisture. They have so many hogs over there you don't need a license and there's no limit. Too bad the ducks aren't in that condition, but it's six per day this year. I'm getting to where I like hunting Whitey the Snow Goose as much as duck hunting....nah, I'll take both. We drew a good blind this year (if there is such a thing in middle TN anymore) so maybe we'll have a decent season here at home. Prolly not, but the blind is almost finished. Hopefully, we'll get some real winter weather this year and all of us will remember the big shoots of '06 & 7. Good hunting, grayghost
