Nitro I understand. But you, I don't understand. You roll in from nowhere. How have you gotten your feelings hurt again? Must be a hero thing again.

It takes a lot to really piss me off, that happened Friday late afternoon.. if anyone was earshot of my main parking lot they would have blushed.

Nice. These are the same shells I hunt ptarmigan and chukar with. I got 10 cases last week.

It’s officially almost dove season as of today.

Just got the text “y’all plant a dove field this year??”

And when I said “no, we didn’t plant this year, I joined a dove club instead” i get the reply back “can you take a guest?”

"no guests the first few weeks"

Shoot low birds to have the field to yourself. Works great on public land!

ahem

[mudflat]

Make sure u shoot at everything that comes within 100 yards of you and shoot at all birds entering field from your back. Public land pro tip.

[Spur hunter]

When someone walks out to get the bird you obviously killed holler “great shot!” and keep shooting.

Are shorts acceptable?

If so, what footwear?

Is a camp hat too much?

Excessive to go all camo?

If so, how young does a kid have to be to be able to go all camo?

Decoys acceptable?

Mojo?

I've only worn shorts a few times. But I wear tasteful shorts, and I just might have on a pair Sunday.. Bonobos active khaki shorts, theyre comfy, not the highland golf shorts. But, the shirt will be khaki, Filson featherweight, the perfect dove shirt..

Mojos or decoys are a full fucking no go the first few weeks. I want to shoot everyone I see and make the owners cry. You're either a dip shit, blindly oblivious to anything proper.. or an arrogant ass I will not shake hands with if you bring mojos into a field you don't own or was asked.

I know you would never be caught dead in a public field, but what is your stance on mojos in a public wma field? What if it’s like 5 or 6 and some ground decoys like what you would see for a barley field in Canada for ducks.

My brother and I had this discussion yesterday...curious on the groups thoughts.
I think it would be a sight to see and funny as hell.

[Highstrung]

In public? I think it would make the day even more dangerous. They cause low birds, then mix in idiots and you've got problems.

They work, they'll move birds.. so if it's winter, spread out in a field that's cool. I think they're rude because they'll change patterns in a field, to me that's not cool unless you own it. You take the time for everything getting ready, put out people accordingly, then some ass is selfish enough to think it's all about him. That's okay for me after a few weeks if hunter numbers are down and less birds.

but Boozer.. if my weather ap didn't catch the gonorrheas, it might in the 80's this weekend, so shorts might be a "no" for me. but it's not like 2th will be there to witness so..

We took a different approach to mojo's since it seemed everyone would show up with them, not to mention they can make doves dive bomb and just create more low bird scenarios. So, we take 4 or 5, hang them in the center of the field from the powerlines, 25ft off the ground. If a dove wants to go to a mojo, he's gonna have to hit the center of the field to get to it, and everyone in the field benefits from it.

yep

typically I get annoyed with the first season of doves.. I mean I have fun, but a lot of times you've just got "hunters" that come out that view hunting really anything as just an activity. that shit just burns me up, the bird gifters, the non lookers, the everythings that are wrong with bird hunting. the red worms in a coffee can kinda people

[Highstrung]

and ducks too.. but this is a dove sub forum

Don't forget to pay close attention to your hounds. Know what to do and what not to do when your dog gets too hot...
