Anyone ever do some dove shooting?
Whats your set up like?
Do you use decoys? How do you get them to come in?
It's my first dove season so I thought i'd ask how other people have success on doves.

I shot a lot of them in Texas but never in WA. Feed lots are the best, water holes are good, standing or freshly harvested grain fields. Just find some cover in their flight pattern and wait them to fly by.

friends of the family go every year out by brewster.

I do alot at a feed lot in granger we can usually do pretty well just pass shooting but the decoys do help when we have them

I agree with CP, in Cali we use to set up along the fence, water on the othe side. guzzlers was another place we would set up by. Water was the key for all our hunts...............Get a nice bucket, loaded it with acouple of sandwichs, bottled water and you ammo. Have fun and they are fun to shoot, except it takes a few of them to make a meal.

When I lived and hunted in Kalifornia, we used to hunt around the Salten Sea area. We would just setup along a fence line and watch which way the birds were flying and start busting flybys. Now I don't hunt doves anylonger, but if I wanted them I would just step outside and blast a few in my back yard, dang things are all over the place around here.
