September 1 Dove Hunting Who’s Going ?

[PasadenaMike]

Obviously from what i understand mourning doves can’t be hunted with Airguns but they sure can be hunted with loud multi pellet launchers. I’m excited. Anybody else going ?

They can't, as in....in your state you mean, or is it kind of a given that shotguns are the tool of choice for small birds?

I've taken plenty of collard doves, to be honest I've found Quail to be much more enjoyable to hunt..taste better as well. On occasion I miss the Double Shot I had, was super fun on birds and rabbits.

I enjoy shopping at natures Whole Foods store. All organic, free range and happy

Haven't hunted mourning doves in over 40 years but would be willing to give it another try. My first experience at the sport was a bit frustrating....the friend that was going to show us where to go and how to do it, cancelled at the last minute, so my brother and I went on our own. Instead of pass shooting them, we were trying to do it by flushing them from the stubble field we found them in. The most frustrating wing shooting I've ever done!!! They zigged and zagged and I swear they did barrel roles!!! I shot up almost a full box of shells before finally hitting one and that was only because I'd reached the end of the field and I spotted one flying down a sage brush draw unaware of my presence!!
