Doves Day Opener

Any of y'all ever hunt them over a dove spinner? I have hunted teal and woodies over them for several years but we don't really have any public dove fields around here and private hunts are nosebleed high.

Yes! Since PA started allowing the use of motorized decoys for doves I already had one for pigeon hunting (yes, pigeon hunting). Right now there is fresh cut corn field with wires over it. I put that mojo out with a few dove decoys on the ground and its like decoying pigeons and ducks. SO MUCH FUN!

I have also used them to just draw them lower and closer. It def. works for me.

On the Indiana public land I started using mojo dove decoys about 10 years ago. Very few people were using them then and I would kill half my limit when they were fluttering at the mojo. Since then they have grown in popularity and almost every field is unrealistically full of mojos. Now the birds seem to be avoiding them. Last week I took mine down and birds started landing by me in the only spot that didnt have a spinner going. So yes they definetly work but too many in one area is not good.

I swear if the deer see a guy in plain clothes walkin through the same woods im hunting they'd shoot turds at him and keep eating. but if im in full camo walkin to my tree every deer within sight is hightailin it outta there. same kinda thing...

Good. In hindsight, my glasses weren't enough and my Dad and uncle's were unwise for not making my younger brother wear shooting glasses. This isn't true everywhere, don't get me wrong, but we were dumb enough to be in a crowded field around random guys that shoot at low doves and pepper people all day on the other side of the field, so if you are in those conditions, you gotta at least wear some eye protection. My excuse was I was only a teenager!
