First dove hunt ever, I haven't decided which WMA yet, I was leaning toward Redlands but Walton is on the way and Clybel is about the same distance. I've been to Redlands a few times so I'm more familiar with the area in general. The positive about Clybel is they have a shotgun range (right?). The positive about Walton is it's a shorter drive. Reco's?
I've read a lot of beginner Dove 101 type articles and watched a few youtube videos and read alot here. I think I have the basics figured out.
Right now I have a 410 but am actively pursuing a 20 SA just haven't pulled the trigger on one yet, the ones I really want are out of stock. I'm open to suggestions to any reliable inexpensive 20 SA that are in stock somewhere, and shell recommendations as well.
I intend to get those mojo flickers. I also intend to get some warm weather camo because it will be warm, for sure.
I intend to get a nice seat to sit on that blends into the field.
A couple questions, should I expect the crops to be cut, or tall? A mix?
How crowded and goofy does it get?
I have read two different articles on etiquette, any other tidbits or unwritten rules you can share with me?
License in hand, about to buy migratory bird stamp.
Thanks in advance. Also, feel free to PM me anything you don't feel comfortable saying publicly.
