55° Florida Doves

[Daktari]

Yesterday I had a wonderful time hunting doves in Florida. It was in the mid 50's and windy but still an incredible experience! Can't wait to make some poppers

Awesome!

What shotgun is that?

Nice shoot. Looks similar to our laughing dove.

 

[Hunt anything]

We had a good last day of dove season yesterday! 14 morning dove and 1 white winged dove. The birds came to a sunflower field in flocks of up to 75 or 100. Limited in about 30 minutes and burned 22 twenty gauge 7 1/2’s.

Coastal Alabama was the location.

This was the shotgun I borrowed from them, definitely an upgrade from the Remington 870 I have back home. Its a Turkish Kral over/under in 20 gauge.

Kevin-those are mourning doves and very similar to your laughing doves. What might surprise you is that the African ringneck dove is a common invasive species in the US and there is no limit or season to harvest them. I’ve shot hundreds of them around dairy farms and some farmers crops at the correct times of year-delicious!

here is a picture from my “scrapbook” of some of your doves that I took while in the east cape last July.
I believe they call Alabama “sportsman’s paradise” and for good reason! Poppers sound wonderful, well done sir!
