Re: Dove season count down! 48 more days
should be good for you guys. I'm seeing lots of action around. oh and the norm of every year I guess, looks like some rain is around the corner should stir things up as usual
.. good luck to all, respect my backyard if you hunt down here (the IV) and pick up after yourself (as most of you do already). Lets not give the farmers more reasons for them to rent out there land to private hunting only. just a thought...

Actually out in El Centro the Wal-Marts out there have had a better price right before the opener......In fact, Frank at Sportsman Catering (Wister) is selling cases of Kent lead for $50.00 per case right now......Best price around and they're Kents.

About the only place I use blaze orange is while pheasant hunting......Get yourself a dove belt.....Remember it's probably going to be hot.....The less cloths the better on top.....Under 10 bucks at Wal-Mart.
ps.......Any shooting belt will work. Just add a 2nd pouch or shell holder.

Remember if you're going to hunt any state land (Wister, SJ, etc) bring some steel shot.

Re: Dove season count down! 43 more days
After last year i don't think I will hunt opener anymore. People have no respect. Had 5 guys get between me and my 2 buddies ended up hunting with less then 10' between each hunter. Every bird we shot they said they shot it to. Really put a bad taste in my mouth. I definitely wouldn't want my son down there on opener. Most of my buddies had similar experiences last year a lot of it probably had to do with it being on a holiday though. Lots of good memories hunting opener as a kid though nothing funner then a good dove hunt with your friends.

Happens up by me too. People just drive around looking for trucks and go park and creep up on you. Lots of people hunting right next to houses and not following the guidelines. Sure makes it sketchy for those of us who hunt more than 1 day a year. Still, I'll be at my favorite spot EARLY in my turkey blind, full ghillie, scent eliminator, and #4's Let's do this!

Re: Dove season count down! 43 more days
Great info guys, Ill be going out for dove season for my first dove hunt ever. Ill be sure to stay away from any other trucks/hunters as I can only imagine how much of a pain in the %$# that is. All my buddies are still "lagging" on the hunting course so if anyone would enjoy company of a newbie to dove hunting, and will to put in the foot/hand work to help out, count me in!

Re: Dove season count down! 43 more days
If you scout some and get to know the IV, there are always places to get away from the crowds......You can also be near the crowds and actually not competing with them......Mourning doves fly into feed areas normally at dark-thirty. Get in that flyway early away from the crowd. They normally fly quite low........Doves also have a nighttime and daytime roost area......If you can find their daytime roost, you can wait for them there......Dead trees, palms, and wildland near fields are always good choices......Owning a dove spinner is a huge help as well on getting birds to change course too......Remember, you don't need many opps when they're right on you......
