Dove Season Approaches
Click on Picture to Enlarge
- As the flying mini ribeyes of the sky start to come into season, I’m sitting here wondering, where am I going to hunt…not good!
- I have a buddy out looking for land, but have had no success in finding any decent dove property.
- If I could hunt in downtown Decatur, or my back yard, I would! Every dove hunter sees more dove in town then they do closer to the country… for some reason that is just how it works.
- I also like to shoot and eat pigeons… they taste just as good (sorry if there is a pigeon racer in the crowd).
- Have you heard of the dove tree? Some swear by it but I will end this post with my best tip!
- Bag Limit for North Zone: 15 White Wing, Mourning, or White Tipped in the aggregate; to include no more than 2 White Tipped. I have never seen/shot/killed a white tipped dove!
- If you get a banded dove, don’t for get to report it with the USGS or call 1-800-327-BAND
TIP:
- Buy 3 mojos and place them in a triangle shaped pattern about 4 feet apart with each dove looking at the center of the triangle. It resembles how the dove land when going into a food source. Also it helps get the attention of dove that are a distance away in different directions.
