Dakota Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Re: Dove hunting My black lab, "Connie", spooked a young dove from an old playground set where it had been waiting for mama. She chased it down and just about ate it, but mama dove came and started harrassing her. Little dove got away into the neighbor's raspberry bushes. I can't wait to uncase the 870 Express Super Mag and unload on those wily birds! Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Re: Dove hunting What kind of shells you all perfer? I use 7.5 and 8 shot with a modified choke. Unless they are flying high, then I might go with a full choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Re: Dove hunting 7.5's or 8's in calm wind, but I used an Improved Cylinder choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Re: Dove hunting I never used the improved cylinder choke, I have one, maybe I should try it sometime. But I do very well with my modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Dove hunting Most of our shots are out to about 40 yards. I have one buddy who tends to sky bust his 12 ga. modified out to 70 yards, but he just likes shooting more than anything I think. I like the improved for a couple of reasons, but mostly because it leaves something to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resent that...I dropped a pheasant at ten yards away w/ BBB and he's still gonna be good eatin'. No, I usually use 2 3/4" 7's.
