jdmidwest Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 We hunted everything growing up, but not the dove. It was the bird of peace, a symbol of it anyway. And we never acquired a taste for them or had crop damage from them. Just the way I was raised. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Deadstream Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 Can't hunt them in Michigan. Not sure why as they are everywhere.

Maybe they are just late to the party. Minnesota had its first 11 years ago.

fishinwrench Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 I've got a pretty good dove shooting tip for ya that will improve your shot to kill ratio if you're low on ammo...... Focus solely on the beak, not the bird. And don't shoot until you can clearly distinguish its beak, and then touch off the shot as soon as you swing ahead of that beak. That little gray rocket will fold up every time. 👍 Gavin 1
MOPanfisher Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 A few years back a really good trap/skeet shooter told to try to miss in front of them. Was amazingly effective.
Dutch Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 If you watch for the wad, you can see exactly where you are shooting.
