The start of the hunting season in the south is traditionally the opening of dove season. Dove season opens at noon time usually the Saturday before Labor Day (If it falls in September) and across most of the hunters will gather for a lunch prior to the hunt. It is a very social event and often the first hunting opportunity that some youngsters get to participate in. Very much a family and friend affair for sure.
I love dove hunting but my wing shooting abilities are not that greatest. My hunting buddies swear I keep Federal in business with the amount of ammo I go through in an afternoon. Certainly something I’ve got to work on and something I’ve been reading about. I came across an interesting article in Game & Fish about 6 Tips to improve your dove hunting.
LIGHTEN UP/OPEN UP
GUN CONTROL
HEAD CONTROL
THE NUMBERS GAME
POSITION
REALISTIC PRACTICE
All worthwhile things to work on I believe head control and realistic practice are the areas I really need to work. Who knows maybe I can get a few more doves for the grill this season.
