Are there any dove fields in west Wa within an hour and a half or so of Olympia?

Are you referring to fields as you would find in the southern states? Dove are not a primary species here on the west side, so actual dove fields really don't exist. The shooting for them can be really good though if you spend enough time out and notice their travel routes. Got a boat? The lower Cowlitz can be really good near the ag fields of Toledo down. Bonus if you can find a piece of property here in thurston county. The collared dove are getting thick. Most folks head east of the mountains.

Thanks! I knew that they were pretty slim here on this side, but just wanted to check. Looks like its time to go south and do a little door knocking. Thanks again!
