Choosing a Shotgun for Dove Hunting | Written by Edgar Castillo

Dove hunting is perhaps the easiest of the wing shooting disciplines. It is fundamentally the most basic of all hunting, a social hunt or shoot more than anything else. Dove hunting doesn’t require an abundance of gear or preparation. The most that must be done is a bit of legwork in the form of a little preseason scouting to find concentrations of doves. Once out in the field and after choosing the best spot to shoot at incoming or passing doves, it’s pretty clear and easy what needs to be done. Add in a variety of dove species like mourning dove, white-winged dove, white-tipped dove, Eurasian collared-dove, and many others and the opportunity grows.
