Got the fever!!!!
I use a rather simply set up.
Spinning Mojo directly out front at around 25 yards.
Sat with a lawn chair right in the tree line under a big dead tree.
12 ga. 7.5 sheet shot with improved choke seems to work best. I prefer the 21 inch barrel over the 28 inch.
Burned through more ammo then I thought but well worth it!
Happy Hunting Everyone!
Looks good. They are tasty little devils aren't they.
Really , any recipe?Quote:

Nice work, looks like fun.
Nothin fancy , I lather them up with a little sesame oil mixed with some salt and pepper and put a wee piece of bacon on the breast and bake until done. I like them better than duck and maybe even more than grouse.Quote:

I got 7.5s in steel at Canadian Tire but it was their only box so not sure how common it is.
For anybody in the London area it was at the wellington south CT that I got them.
Sweet! Thanks ill pick some up!Quote:

I've got the fever now too! Haven't shot doves before but it sure seems like a great time. Any tips on when is a good time of year and best times of the day would be great. I'm in Niagara.
It sure is fun when you find a good spot with lots of birds flying. I hunted with a buddy down near Leamington and we had a good field. I haven't been able to find one locally yet. As for ammo my buddy picked me up a flat of Kent #7 from the gun shop in Chatham. Wood's in Kerwood has Federal 7.5 in stock. Sudsee must have got lucky finding some at CT. I check every time I'm in there (including the one on Wellington) and I've never seen any small steel.
