I - for “one” - have never considered dove hunting to be lazy by any stretch, and largely, it’s as cheap as you make it.
But then again, WTF would I know. I mean, heck, I’ve actually hunted dove in the real world, for decades, so I’m naturally going to fall short on the subject to someone who read a book and some Google articles on the topic.
I've been deer hunting in mildly-hilly terrain, walking not stand, but never dove hunting. From a good number of dove videos I've seen, I dare say there is much less hoofing it involved in dove. If you have a 4-legged or two-legged retriever, there is even less walking so. Is breasting out a limit of dove more labor intensive than gutting and dragging a deer? It would be interesting to measure the calories burned on a walking deer hunt and compare them with the calories burned on a stool dove shoot from field to freezer.
