    I had a One of my best hunts Saturday, on the field by myself in the AM, had a decoy on the line, a mojo dove running on the ground and every dove that flew by was coming to the line. Shot 27 times to kill 15, was done in about 45 minutes, would not say the field was loaded just a perfect morning.

    The only common thing I have noticed over the past week is the birds are eating in the middle of the day, only exception was a field that is 3miles from the ocean and it was more of the normal afternoon bit but the sun was shining bright. Not sure that numbers are down other than a lot of doves have been killed in the past 3 weeks, I just think they have changed things up.

    Worst year for numbers I've seen overall. Who cares it's almost deer season.

    I have two guesses, it's not like where we're at there are many other options other than downtown driveways

    I've got fields without another field around for miles, full of sunflowers, and just a few doves using them. Haven't been hunted in almost 2 weeks now. Had the same issue last year. Used to think food = doves but now I see there is some luck involved

    My theory is that it helps to be close to other fields. I also think that it helps to coordinate with other nearby dove clubs to hunt the same days. That keeps them from heading to another field and staying there after the first shot.

    It's embarrassing to invite friends to a shoot only to not have birds show up. I may erect a lone tree with decoys and solo shoot my field a couple times the rest of this split.

    My field is surrounded by very tall trees and the birds use them like stadium seats. They land in the trees and recon the field to see if there is anything scary. If they see any movement or hear a shot, they bounce to some other food. I am considering cutting many of these gigantic pines after the season to make some better flyway gaps and less vantage points.

    Well the buckwheat was planted too late...my own fault. However, when they finally matured two weeks ago, I bushhogged some before I left out of town for a week. While I was out of town my buddy came over to train dogs and said the fields were loaded. Before I could get back home it rained and most of the seed sprouted. Doves left day after I got home. Fuck me!!! I will plant buckwheat next year just about a month earlier.
