Dove hunting is great here in ohio, i dont have any land of my own to hunt doves yet it is still all in the works at my uncles property, i.e planting sunflowers, and corn and just making it attractive for these doves. I hunt in public hunting spot at fallsville, and its great opening day, alot of people however there are alot of birds. What you want to do is get some camo, a good seat and a cooler to keep your birds in along with something to drink, because it gets pretty hot here in september. I use my ol 870 rem 12ga with some 7's high brass, with a modified choke. If you see doves on your property then that is a good sign or driving by and see them on a wire above the road chances are theres alot more around. Some people use dove decoys but i dont think you really need em. Bring lots of shells also, you'll need em.
