Looking at weather forecasts, heat should stick around through the 9/1 open
Appreciate any updates!

Doves are impossible to hit. I've proven that many times!

Anyone have experience Dove hunting over a dog? I know some of the best hunting is with decoy in an open field and awaiting them almost like duck but was wondering if a pointer breed could be used effectively? If not just for the retrieving aspect.
Dove only perch up high (trees, power lines, etc.) or they land on open ground where they will see you, or your dog, coming and flush before you are in range. They don’t hide in the grass so a pointing dog isn’t going to be much help. Dogs are great for retrieving dove, but not for pointing.

Don't know if it affected our hunt but the only time a dog was with us (a friend wanted to see if he would retrieve) we never saw any doves that day. Don't know if it was because of the dog or not since the conditions seemed good.

I bring my dog with me dove hunting to retrieve downed birds. They wouldn't be effective trying to point them as they typically sit in trees, power lines, etc. I typically always shoot them on the wing.

We managed 17 doves and 9 pigeons. The pigeons saved our morning hunt. The doves did not want to cooperate. The evening hunt went much better. I still managed to shoot 3 boxes of shells. Good opener!
Yep..... :chuckle: :chuckle:
