I bought a mojo a couple of years ago. It really works on the doves in the back yard. They sit in the ground in front of it and appear hypnotized. Out in the field it doesn't have the same effect. Last year I did buy a taller stand that also allowed other doves to be clipped on the stand. Jury's still out on that but in addition to pre-season practice this year I will also scout before the season.
What's different is my dog decided she wanted to retrieve last season and I hate to disappoint her with lame shooting.
I think pre-season scouting is the key to good dove hunting seasons.

And im off for opener this year. I have yet to find a good concentration of them lil buggars, but I know of a few places I can go to get a handful sometimes.
Nick's eyeballing the batch that's in the back yard at the bird feeder and he's shooting skeet with me at the range. Molly has caught one eurasian so far and thinks she is fast enough and small enough to catch some more. It's hard to hide in toe nail tall grass.

Its hard to scout for dove, as it all depends on there migration. And it seems every year, the week prior to opener we get a big cold snap that pushes them out. I hope that doesn't happen again this year.

Bill and I were talking about that the other day. If there isn't a huge cold snap I think I know of a few good places!
