Thread: Labor Day dove shoot

I don't know of any. The DNR has some fields around the state. You can search their site to find them.

Thx Stump. The public fields are only open Saturdays. With one or 2 allowing a Weds hunt.

Not sure where you are but the fields near Sumter in Manchester SF are open in 2nd and 3rd season anytime, check the regs closely tho, they can be tricky, page 102 in the new book. GL

Pay fields are about gone! Dove shoots now are done by clubs who pay for the field to be planted and cut for their pleasure at a high price. It's almost like deer hunting all clubs unless you own property. People pay up to $1200 for hunting doves and deer around here! Boyd's farms has about 5000 doves the first month of the season. No memberships available unless you got friends in high places. Hope you find something. Holler out if you do!

5000 the 1st season?! I need to join up there! I could be a long lost cousin.

I hear this is a hoot of a time

They got them out the you know what. Sunflower and millet! These farm fields are so big the birds don't move to far from where they are. Plenty of trees to sit in on the property until they ready to eat. I'd have to have more than two boxes of shell to get my 15 birds! I wouldn't be able to concentrate on one bird. When I do go, I head out to Worth Mountain WMA. More hunters than birds but it is still fun. We use the Mojo's until to many people gather around us.

Tim, it is a good time if the conditions are right!

Hey BigDawgg nothing better than watching a good trained bird dog in action besides crappie fishing that is. Tim they use to have a field close to you where you pay 10 or $20 for the day, saturday only though. I've hunted it a couple of times and had plenty of birds. If you want I can ask a buddy if he can find out if they still have it? Just let me know.
