Walking Up Doves While Hunting | Written by Jorge Ramirez

Dove season. You’re sitting there, twiddling your thumbs. The little grey rockets have not presented a shot since early that morning, but you’re determined to put a few more in the bag. Waiting. Sitting. I mean, is there a law saying you have to sit here?

Look, I’m gonna run something by you. It’s a little weird, but hear me out. Let’s try something different. Let me ask you a question: rather than waiting for pass-shooting opportunities, have you ever walked up on doves? Walk-up. Jump-shoot. Kick-up. Flush. Whatever you call it, sometimes the traditional pass-shooting method isn’t going to cut it and walking-up on those doves is going to prove to be a lot more effective. When it gets slow out in the field, nothing gets birds in the air more effectively than some brush kicking!
