Labor Day weekend dove hunting is about family, kids, and having a good time. It’s also about getting ready for the upcoming waterfowl season.
Good dove fields are no accidents
First and foremost you must have birds to shoot for a successful opening day hunt, and preseason preparation is imperative to attract doves.
It’s too late to get in much practice time at the range before the opening day of dove season, but there are some things you can do to get ready.
If you’re planning on making an October dove hunt, don’t expect the birds to be as carefree as they were on opening day. You may need to try new tactics.
Making a hunt enjoyable means having all the necessary equipment. Dove hunters should pick shotguns they can shoot really well on flying birds.
Dove is very easy to overcook, which will make you think they are not that good, but when cooked correctly, even non-game eaters will love them.
When they start hunting Sept. 1, Mississippi dove hunters need to remember the rules and regulations, as well as safe hunting practices.
Gear up right for September doves
Like any other shooting sport, dove hunting requires a gathering of critical gear to make the day afield more enjoyable and successful.
