Although this goes against most advice for hunting, the best dove hunting is usually where there are lots of dove hunters. I enjoy walking field edges and wild sunflower patches or lines of trees along fields during mid day resting but that's not really a dove hunt. The hottest shooting is usually either finding a point that a LOT of doves are continuously flying over, or an area where there is a lot of overall dove activity and a lot of dove hunters keeping them moving. Doves soon learn to spot hunters and will fly around them out of range and land a litle ways off to feed. If the hunter tries to approach they will often flush out of range. If you can find a popular public area for doves try scouting just before the opener to see if there are a lot of doves. Then try to see where they seem to be flying the most. Opening morning is the best time and if you see a spot that doves are flying better (and no one else is standing) move to it right away. Just don't be rude and move right in on someone elses spot. The other hunters tend to keep them flying so the shooting is often much more frequent and mostly overhead shots which are fun. If you see a dove approaching stand still. Many people crouch immediately but the movement will give you away faster than your outline will. Camo can sometimes help but remember that gamebirds and game animals can see UV brighteners from regular laundry detergent. On opening day a skeet choke and 8's or 9's works better and will make it much easier to hit birds. Later in the season when they are more wary 7 1/2 shot and an IC or mod choke is better.
