Does a non-hunter on the dove field need a license? I would think not.
Would it be like fishing? As long as there's not an extra gun sitting there that they could use, is it ok?
I apologize if this is a dumb question. This is only my second season hunting dove, and that's all I've hunted so far.

No, unless you are hunting on Type 2 land.

There is no law about how many guns you can take to the field. On opening day I often take more than one gun in case of malfunction since I may not remember when the last time I shot or cleaned it was.

Ok. Thanks.
We don't have extra guns laying around. I was just thinking about how they can get you with extra fishing poles laying around and a non-fisher being there. I usually have AT LEAST 3 or 4 poles with me. haha.

No they don't need a license. You can also have extra guns if you want. GW might question you about it but there is nothing illegal about have more than 1 gun. My wife goes and sits with me sometimes.
I had a GW doing a lot of questioning to us one time one my boat because 1 person on the boat didn't have a fishing license and he was only there to hang out and drink beer. My friend didn't care to fish so no need for him to spend money on a license. The GW said it looked suspicious because I had extra rods on the deck. I told him I had about 15 more rods in the rod box and there was no laws says I can't have extra rods in my boat. He let us go because we did nothing wrong. I think he was just bored. He was very polite and so were we.
