Red D I'm going to need pics of the carnage. Lol I shall provide. If (!) I find anything left. Saw some zombie eurasian pigeons which are considered invasive and non game species. Maybe hunt some of them.

I think 00buck shot with 3-1/2 shell combination would work perfect for those pesky zombie doves. Just make sure you use the extended turkey chokes

I know a guy who only shoots a ten gauge and he reloads shells with number 6 lead and shoots dove with them
I'm with GK because I like salty old dudes.

Thanks to all whom have posted. I have gotten many a good chuckle out of the responses.
After reading this, I think I'll throw a couple of Turkey loads in my nephews gun just to see what happens.

Keep in mind you will probably just be in a t shirt. During duck season you would have more padding. Also you very well migh shoot more rounds. You might not be hunting the next day. I ahve seen times when high brass 2-3/4 might be good but 3-1/2 is overkill for sure.

double BB works well. don't even have to hit them, just near them. The shock knocks them down.
