Tecumseh Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 It's a blast I'm going over next Saturday and try and draw blind for opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozz Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks for the video, it sure got me going, as a matter of fact we are going to Rush Run this Sat. to try and Lotto there, we never been there before, we usually go to Spring Valley to Lotto. My Boys got a new shotgun and he's 12 now so we can't wait, its by far my favorite hunting. I got one of those new tent blind chairs for Doving that should give me some shade in those hot sunflower fields. Hey Tominator where do you go come Sept.1 ?

Tominator Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hey Tominator where do you go come Sept.1 ? My buddy's got 15 acres of field. We plant about 5 acres of sunflower. He has a powerline that runs right through the middle of the sunflower patch. We sit at the base of the telephone poles and pass shoot them as they come into the mowed sunflower.

wtnhunt Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Yep, dove season will be here pretty quick. Never been dove hunting, but there seems to be a good bit of dove around, really probably need to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitcha_some Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Cant wait this upcoming saturday is the kickoff to the 2007-2008 season!! going goose hunting in the morning and then finishing the day with an afternoon dove hunt, should be a great start to the season, we have had 200 geese feeding in our sod fields for about a week now and hundreds of doves using the property, with more building everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozz Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Didn't draw..... Didn't draw at Rush Run yesterday......as the video above mention....they had a record 252 people there and drew 104. Oh well hopefully me an my boy will find another spot, looks like Paint Creek or Spring Valley Sat.Kinda of a bummer I have a 12 yr. old with a new gun who just to took hunter safety course and score a perfect 100 and feel some pressure to get him a quality hunt. We went last year and he had a good time with his old .410 (cruel I know) but now has a youth 20 ga. Oh the pressure is on....lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjbmxz Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 What would you dove hunters recommend as a spot for doves. Edge of cornfields, or a tree line that extends 150 yards off of a wood, with harvested winterwheat on each side? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 What would you dove hunters recommend as a spot for doves. Edge of cornfields, or a tree line that extends 150 yards off of a wood, with harvested winterwheat on each side? Thanks I hunt near all of them, but I think the key is to locate a flyway in them areas where they go back and forth between, feeding, water & grit areas, and their roosting areas.

mjbmxz Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I will do just that. Thanks for the information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I agree. Cruise around and look for powerlines over harvested fields. Doves seem to like flat tilled areas where they can access food, grit and water easily.

bozz Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Got drawn on a Lotto hunt yesterday.....woohoo ! Well its that time again, and we feel really blessed after our # hit on the 4th call out of a total of 42 winners. Lots of hunters there at Spring Valley and half the crowd didn't draw including my riding buddies. Fields look good and we picked field 4 station 2. Funny we were 4-1 last year and limited out.
