The big dairy farm south of me has chopped sileage like crazy over the past month, and the doves are pouring in like nothing I've ever seen before. There must be hundreds, if not thousands, of doves utilizing these fields right now. So yesterday I picked up a box of shells and went out for a quick afternoon hunt.
The field...
The decoy spread...
The point of ambush...
(by the way, layout blinds kick ass for dove hunting... not just for waterfowl)
My view...
The results...
Lucky for the doves, I was a terrible shot yesterday. 25 rounds just wasn't quite enough... lol. I did manage to scratch out 10 birds, though, and it only took me about 40 minutes.
Here's a brief video from the gun cam...
