I'm often seeing dove hunting videos, reports, nor blogs from dove hunters. However, I don't recall seeing any of them use dove calls. Anyone use them? or they just not worth it? I made a spontaneous purchase and bought this dove call. https://www.amazon.com/Primos-Hunting-36...lls+for+hunting

I don't call dove, dove call me.
Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with an impulse buy.

I wonder if it would be considered baiting to spread out a bunch of biodegradable airsoft pellets into a field to hunt over like those corn on the cob decoys.

Okay, so dove calls are not worth it then? Give us a review after you use it for a couple of hunts and tell us if it's worth it.

I use the mojo decoy and use the dove in heat spray. If birds are within 1/4 mile the dove in heat spray will bring them in. you can limit with a 410 single shot.

+1 for dove estrus. I usually hang a bunch right outside my pit blind... hanging down from 25 mojos. But we prefer an electronic caller over the whistle call, way less hassle. Plus the e-caller won't bring in white wings and that is crucial cuz you can't legally use it with them.

Both my son and I just call blowing in to our hands. Make a box with both hands and blow between our thumbs.
I have seen several birds turn and come into decoys once we start calling.
Does it work all the time, no. Would I buy a call, no. But it has definitely worked at times.
