21. Size BBB shot 3 1/2 Hypersonic Black Clouded Blindsided magnums. 1 case per day.

Unless you are good enough to hit em in the face.

Plus, its a good warm up for duck season

Some throw -ins from my personal list:
eye protection/cool looking sun glasses to impress the birds
sharpie (to date the ziplocs)
pocket knife for whittling while waiting
Zip Ties for many uses
frozen bottle o' water for backpack
and always, Pocketful o' Hope, springing eternal...

At Puddins no time for whittling except when you are waiting on your nephew to limit out. wink

A buddy just sent me this, seems like a cool idea and would make for a nice picture after the hunt! Can't believe I've never thought of something like this since I use one for waterfowl!

Now I like that. You could hang it on a barb wire fence or tree limb.

I made this one a couple months ago in preparation

Re: Dove Hunters Checklist - 08/24/15 01:22 AM

5 gallons water

bucket to rinse breasts in before counting them into the Zip-Lock. Yes, I'm anal but makes it easy when you get home, just fill Zip Locks of limits with water and freeze.

Koozies

MORE ICE...

This..

Also, if you are staying at a lease all day, some kind of reclining chair to pass out in under the shade when it's 105 during the afternoon.

Hell.. I might bring a kiddy pool this year to get in.

Scotch and cigars to toast another great opener!

Re: Dove Hunters Checklist - 08/24/15 04:03 PM

By the time I get all packed up you'd think I'm gonna be gone for a month. Even after all that there's always something I forget.

And I'm a little anti-game shears, at least for the wings. I prefer to twist 'em off so those sharp bones don't poke holes in the zip locks.

I keep thinking I'm going to make a decoy pole every season and then it gets here before the lazy wears off.

Re: Dove Hunters Checklist - 08/29/16 04:52 PM

Those dove hangers look like offshore lures. I bet you could catch a gar with one. Ha sorry.

Maybe one of those knives with replaceable blades. They make cleaning doves really nice.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does that work? I always pop the heads off my dove, so I couldn't hang them around their necks??

Around their feet?
