Heck I am still paying $20-25 and thought that was expensive...LOL

[lamehawk]

It is hard to believe ppl pay to shoot those dang things.......

Get you a 100 rounds of 12 gauge, a shotgun and go on a dove hunt. You think you're a good shot, OK... I have spent over 25 years on the trap, skeet and sporting clays fields, shot in three different countries while I was in the service, and consider myself an above average trap and sporting clays shooter (Average 83-88 of 100 on a good day). Everytime I shoot doves it's like a completely new experience. They never fly the same way, not one. Starting out, if your a good shot with a shotgun it will take you 3-5 rounds per bird to finally get one to fall. Besides, a round of 100 clay targets thrown at a sporting clays range today will run you $40-$50 and shooting at Doves is a hell of a good time, especially with a group of friends. Bottom line, if I was just looking for meat or poultry, I'd personally go to Publix!

LOL Chicken is cheaper...I do it for the sport and have since I was 6. it is a tradition in So TX so here we are in dove poor FL but I still go. I have 4 WMA fields and my deer lease to shoot and then the outfitter if he calls. Can't wait!

I have hunted dove for many years and would never pay to shoot them I understand they are tough buggers to hit.I could not hit a clay for anything but live birds well I have shot a bunch and I agree with the 3 to 1 on dove but to pay that much...thats for the ppl that want to do so.

What about shooting dove birds on the open WMA property, Three Lakes had a dove field the last time I was there. I have a hard time understanding the rules of each WMA (almost like the man is making it hard to hunt) but I have hunted the first phase on a WMA and will probably end up doing it again this year. The public non pay field at Hillochee has been closed for the last couple of seasons.

I am on 3 WMA dove fields in the Panhandel

also a private outfitter I used last year has an ad on craigslist if any of you care to call...he was in the $20-25 range.

here is one that I found. tooo much$$$$ for me. love to shoot those little buggers though. Warren,
Thank you for your inquiry. Give me a call on my cell [# below]. I'll be glad to show you around the property {between Archer & Bronson}.
You can participate in one of two ways: either $600 for the season or $50.00 per hunt. I am offering $50.00 per shoot option [for one adult; this includes one child under 16 per shoot].
We will shoot either every Saturday or every other Saturday depending on dove population. Will shoot Sundays when Gator football is at home. I will decide if there are enough birds for a quality shoot and will let everyone know via email.
The 2nd & 3rd phases are usually the best and last year we had some excellent shoots after it turned cold. We also have lunch & skeet shooting before the shoots; we'll have something on the grill & everyone brings a little something to share.
I have 2 fields; 20+ acres each, with an ample number of good spots surrounding the fields. I also have access to two other fields off of my property. I will limit # of shooters to 15-18 per shoot.
Give me a call if you would like to ride out and have a look at the property. [Cell # below] Thanks, Kate

Wish some of you dove hunters were up here, hate hunting alone.

[lamehawk]

I enjoy dove hunting but I was unaware ppl paid that kind of cash to shoot for them!

[frankwt]

It is not that we want to...$25 is my limit.

[lamehawk]

At farm here when we had sunflowers the birds were everywhere so we just sat at cabin and shot.

[wingshooter]

frankwt sounds like yall have more oppotunities to hunt dove birds in n fla. When I drive that far north I usually end up in Ga to do my civic duty to rid the country of the very dangerous and wiley whitetail deer. It is hard to find a place this far south to hunt dove birds that doesnt break the bank. I think the 20 dollar dove field and the .85 cent spark plug are gone forever.

mmmmm...smoked dove breast stuffed with jalapenos and wrapped in bacon...mmmmmmmmm
