Mourning Dove Hunt
Dove hunts experience in the picturesque landscapes of South Florida. Join us for an adventure that combines sport with the beauty of nature.
How We Conduct Dove Hunts
Pre-Hunt Preparation and Field Placement
Your dove hunt experience starts with registration at our base camp. Our seasoned guides will transport you to carefully selected fields, positioning you strategically to maximize safety and respect for fellow hunters. Staying still is crucial to prevent disturbing the doves as they approach.
Essential Gear for Mourning Dove Hunting
Recommended Equipment and Clothing
For a successful hunt, we recommend the following:
– Wear camouflage or dark blue jeans and a camouflage hat to blend in with the environment.
– Use twenty-gauge or twelve-gauge shotguns, with a three-shell capacity limit.
– Bring at least three boxes of low brass shot shells (#7.5 or #8).
– Additional items include a cooler for harvested doves, a seat for comfort between flights, stationary mourning dove decoys, and a small cooler for drinks (alcohol is prohibited).
The Hunting Experience
Hunts typically begin around 1:00 PM and last three to four hours, influenced by bird activity and weather conditions. Once you’ve reached your bag limit, our guides will assist you in locating your harvest and answer any queries you may have, ensuring a fulfilling hunting session.
