Lead em, and swing through

Use bug spray on your boots and pants legs. Take plenty of shells. Pick up all of your empties plus any extras you come across that aren't yours. Don't shoot over your limit. Make sure if you're shooting a pump or auto that the magazine will only hold 2 shells. When a dove is heading your way, freeze and don't move until it is well within range and you're ready to fire, then raise your shotgun. If you're new to dove hunting and using a Full choke, you probably won't kill very many. Try a Mod or I/C instead. Unless it's very open terrain or you have a dog, shoot one dove at a time and go find it before you shoot at any others.

I second the bug spray, got eaten up by chiggers last year. Purchased some %100 dete this year.

careful with that stuff if you have a camoed gun. It will strip the camo right off!!!!

Where can you pick up game bags?

Well I am planning on going Dove hunting for the first time. I talked with a guy out in the Katy area that does day hunts about getting set up to go. But I was wondering if anyone had any tips for a first timer.....

Take a shooting lesson from a pro, and hit as much clay as you can before you go. If you have never had a lesson before, that would be the best money you ever spent. Amazing how many beginner wing shooters spend a ton of money on license, gun, shells, outfit, lease, gas, lodging, whisky etc..for a dove hunt, but will not drop $100/$200 for a few lessons. Seen a guy shoot all morning once and not hit a dang thing.

And you will save bunch in shells.
