Pre-Season Checkup For Dove Hunting Equipment
The biggest part to having a good dove hunting experience is knowing which hunting gear you will need. First off the most important thing to have is your up to date hunting license, ammo pack, favorite shotgun, hat or cap to keep the sun out of your eyes, as well as the proper protective equipment (glasses and ear protection). Your equipment should be thoroughly checked out well in advance of the hunt. You should also be sure that your gun is properly plugged, so that it can only hold three shells. This consists of one in the chamber and two in the chamber. Finding out the pathways of the doves and the main roosts where the doves are located as well as the most frequented areas are also very important to know before heading out. One thing to remember is to have the proper permission and paper work to hunt in the area in which you will be hunting. Dove hunters who hunt with retrieving dogs will need to train their dogs prior to the actual day of the hunt. A check cord should be along in case the excitement of the hunt is more than your dog can stand.
