Title: Would you dove hunt?
Post by: LiveandLearn on September 04, 2012, 01:04:13 PM: We have a lot of doves and are curious how many people would be interested in an all private ground guided hunt. We are located in the Moses Lake area. In the past we have guided for youth hunters, hunt swaps or friends/family. We are now considering opening a handful of slots for paid hunts. We shot 12 limits opening day.

You hide and when the dove fly by you shoot them.

on the eastside doves are a no brainer, just find water and dead trees with a food source near by.

Post by: Camo on September 05, 2012, 08:46:06 AM: I would be more inclined to pay a reasonable trespass fee for private access to a fair/good shoot. Something that I could get my daughters or whole family involved in at a reasonable price. What I'm paying for is the peace of mind that I don't have to get the family up at 2:00 am to be "first" to the spot. Also knowing that a regulated number of people should afford me the confidence that nobody will be encroaching on "our" area. A fully guided $600 day to take the family shooting is probably ok for some guys but definitely not something in my budget to do with any consistancy when my 10 day in-state deer hunt costs less than that.
