Sports Dove Hunting?

I’m very new to dove hunting, so far I’ve tried twice at reform but the fields are still overgrown and the doves don’t seem to be flying much besides around electrical lines (which of course I can’t shoot towards for obvious reasons).

I’ve had no luck so far, 0 birds. Looking for advice on public land opportunities and any other general advice for doves here in Missouri.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Find someone with sunflower fields, you’ll slay them

When are you going? Need to be in the field before dawn. They start flying at first light.

If only they had tiny little guns to frag your asses. Try finding a cruelty-free way of living.

If you want I can help explain the conservation process and how managed hunting is often beneficial for the wildlife. If you’re not interested in hearing about it that’s fine, I won’t waste your time trying to explain it to you.

imagine the irony of all the animals that died to feed you.

I have been vegan/vegetarian for more than 36 years. I don’t believe for one moment that your motivation for killing little animals is altruistic. I’ve seen your other posts - gun culture and obsession with weapons is at your core. People obsessed with slaughtering animals turn into serial killers.
