Wasn't sure where to ask this. Anyone dove hunting this year?
I've never done it. I'd love to try it sometime. We don't have many doves around here. I'll see a couple around the barnyard but that's about it.Quote:

You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.

Yes I know, I was just asking if anyone has been out or planning on it.Quote:

I've been out twice. Not a lot flying around me anyway.
I'm going to give it a try this year but haven't picked up my Duck Stamp yet. Even got some #7 Steel shot for my 12 ga. . I see lots around area... Long Point, Norfolk County but no big flocks yet.
I got one while in a lul during the middle of goose hunting a couple years back. The meat is grey, much like a quail.
Not enough around here for me to really get into it but they are fast and hard to hit.
I am with my stepson, his 1st year hunting and doves are a blast if you get a good field, I had a great field a couple of seasons ago so you might have noticed the spike on the stock markets in 2016 cause I went through a ton of ammo. If I get this field invest in some steel stocks as my kid is a worse shot then me, and I'm pretty bad.

We had a great shoot on opening weekend for doves. Like any other game bird you need to scout and be able to find big numbers feeding. Or I also like to find a roost area and pass shoot them travelling back (Careful not to get too close).
