oh yeah i hunt just about anything and dove is one fun little bird to hunt....scarce on my property but i know a few people that own hundreds of acres and i do a lot of dove hunting out there.

Re: Any dove hunters out there?
 

lucky, maybe w this thread someone will take me hunting lol id be a better hunter if there was more doves to hunt lol i think last season (and yes i kept track) i was doing a 3-4 shot to one dove ratio. thats kinda bad imo

Re: Any dove hunters out there?
 

they are pretty tricky i mean you have to get in a rythm really

Re: Any dove hunters out there?
 

absolutely! i think the trickiest part for newbies and even for mysel fis deciding in a split second which one to shoot (in a group of like three) and also decicing to shoot or not! i still make shots sometimes that were probably too far in the first place

haha yeah. the more you hunt em the easier it gets though, i challenge myself and use a single shot 20 haha its tough

Re: Any dove hunters out there?
 

when i first started out i used a single shot as well but then i noticed i couldve gotten two doves in a row so i started using the 3 shot.. doesnt happen very often but it does happen lol just bang bang! now..wheres that first dove...5 mins of looking! haha stupid grass

----------

dont wanna compare but im just curious? whats ur shot to dove ratio? when i was younger i used up two boxes for 2 doves :( get too excited and forget to actually aim haha

Re: Any dove hunters out there?
 

really thought this thread would blow up haha

Re: Any dove hunters out there?
 

haha im not really sure to be honest....i mean id say i hit 2 outta every 3 but its up and down....i just like to have fun with it

Re: Any dove hunters out there?
 

yeha somedays ill do really good and hit most shots and some days ill do 3 per bird but not usually any worse than that
