identifying dove
I am new to hunting and am planning on hunting dove this september. I have been scouting the area where I will be hunting, which has a lot corn fields. I have seen a lot of birds around these fields, but I can't seem to determine if any of them are dove. There have been several different kinds of birds, one kind being a small black bird, and another that looks something like a dove, being gray and slightly larger than the black birds. I haven't been able to get a good, clear view of them even with binoculars. Is there any tips for identifying doves or being sure that these birds are the game I'm after?
