I got this junk but a lot of it is handicap target load. Don’t think I can use it?View attachment 134633

I'd use the hell out of it. Those loads will kill a dove nice and dead. Esp within 25-30 yards.

Not junk. As long as your not shooting it in a twist steel or damascus barrel your good to go. I like the 7.5 for dove.

Sweet good to know! Wasn’t sure if the handicap had less shot in it or something. I need all the help I can get.

Actually they are heavy with more shot. 7.5 is the perfect size. You get a lot of pellets plus they are heavy enough to get complete pass through on doves. With 8's and 9's you will get some pellets in your breast meat.

Killed 9 so far and found 7. Grass is knee deep high. I’m set up near a pond, could’ve brought Pearl. Kicking myself now. Didn’t get to shoot at a bunch as I was doing an Easter egg hunt looking for a downed one.

We are loaded up from what I’m hearing. Hunter went to the camp and checked the pond and said there were 30 in it. Can’t hunt there, might only get two small flocks come in and that’s it. No one hunting ducks up there.

Im not sure but I think today might of been the opener for teal. Lot of shooting going on at the local public marsh

Has anybody hunted doves at Delaware state park? Debating between that and deer creek tomorrow

 

[OO2]

Up at Delaware, hope I didn’t pick the wrong field. Lots of shooting around. Getting eaten alive by mosquitos. About to start hunting them.

Conveniently left at the house

Do dove decoys help all that much in your guys experiences?

 

[GoetsTalon]

Yes they work but what is better is a Mojo dove.

 

[giles]

Worth the money for sure.

Thank you, guess I need to find the mojo doves. For sure see a bunch of them walking up to a dove field.

I would say a bird feeder is best
