I'm going on my first dove hunt this weekend pretty excited. What ammo do y'all shoot? I have a Mossberg 835 that i plan on using. Any advice or helpful tips? Anyone else on here hunting Newberry this coming Saturday?

I bring a 12 gauge & a 20 gauge with a modified choke (bring all of your choke tubes in case birds are flying closer or further), but use the 20 gauge about 95% of the time. 7 1/2 shot size with a high brass shell for me if they are not too much more $, many don't feel it really matters, I wouldn't argue the point. plan on 50-100 shots, so bring plenty of ammo & fluids to keep hydrated, & a chair comes in handy during slow periods. Good luck & keep us updated.

You are going to love it! Doves are alot harder to hit than you expect. They dive a weave pretty quickly. Have fun!

Listen to Nacho and Fishindad. I believe they go every year!

Only 8 dove where shot and only two in our group of 3. It was fun but wish we has seen more dove.

thats more than we saw on my first dove hunt. i have decided to hunt dove on public land. i t may piss off a few archery hunters but legal is legal.

You should give it another try IMO. With this cold front I'd bet a lot more birds have since found there way here.

Ya i plan on it.

Sam, I was hunting over the weekend and someone near by had a great dove hunt going on. It sounded like wwIII for quite sometime. That might be a thought, if you don't mind I'll dig around a little bit and see if I can find some info on one of these hunts.

Sounds good bossman thanks
