get out to your spot before shooting time starts
have enough shells for your limit and your ability
hunt an area where they are known by you to fly

doves will do the same thing almost every day. Leave roost to eat, drink water, go back to roost. We hunt the water sources normally. Find water that has little to no growth around the edge. If you can find a dried up cattle pond or a mud bank on a river, they will probably come out there at some time during the day. We hunt the food early and hunt the water late. I shoot a 12g with #7 1/2 s. But a 20g is just as good for dove. I prefer a lighter faster load over a slower larger load of shot. Buy cheap, you’ll hopefully shoot a lot.

The number 1 thing you have to do is scout, right up until season starts, as doves will be on one field one day, and another the next. I hunt a lease with over 40 fields of various crops scattered over a 100+ sq/mi area, and you can bet that come opening day, the birds are really only using 1 or 2 of them heavily. If you pull up to a field at daylight, and don’t see more than a few dozen birds using a field, move on to another spot.
On top of that, using the most open choke you can find is essential. I more than doubled my percentage of hits when I switched from a 12 gauge modified to a 20 gauge with a skeet choke.
