quail/late season dove reports?

[mbiewer]

So I missed the opportunity to go out on the day after thanksgiving. (We held dinner for our family/group and it took me the rest of my freetime to clean up ha ha). Buddy went out just east of ironwood but never heard his report. Finally caught up to him and chatted. Siad he spent all morning out and only got two doves.

 

I'm fortunate enough to have Fridays off. Woke up, and was loading the kids backpacks into the car and killing time before I was left unwatched for the day. Seen droves of dove around the neighborhood. That was enough to push me over the edge. She took the kids to school, and went to work... I grabbed the 870, vest, and couple boxes of shells.

 

Awesome morning for a walk. Only found one covey of quail. Apparently all the dove have began residing into the neighborhoods though. Would like to go out again, but I have never tried for the late season dove. Is it worth it? what are thoughts and opinions?

 

Going to actually plan a trip and try for Friday, and make the most of it.

I'm not much of a dove hunter. I can shoot them off my land in buckeye all day long lol. I can limit here in 5 minutes. It gets boring to me. Now for quail well that's a different story. I'm a quail nut. Ask some guys on here.
