oz31p Report post Posted August 20, 2019 I’ll be on a huge family camping trip during opening weekend some where near Parks/6-8 miles north on spring valley rd area. Is it worth it to take my daughter out Sunday morning some where in that area? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BusterAZ Report post Posted August 21, 2019 Do you know of any farms in the area? I don’t think the forest holds too many doves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted August 21, 2019 Best bet is to find a sunflower patch near water. I have yet to find a good spot up here. It's hard to kill more than a few each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The north edge of 7 is out of the forest and into plains. 2 minutes ago, thegunsmith2506 said: Best bet is to find a sunflower patch near water. I have yet to find a good spot up here.

oz31p Report post Posted August 21, 2019 That’s about what I figured, see any dove😎 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ8 Report post Posted August 21, 2019 Not really. But to be honest, I wasn’t actively looking for them. I’ll be staying down here for dove tho. Haha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhtMtnHunter Report post Posted August 21, 2019 A little ways from Parks, but i recently saw a decent flight of doves west of Paulden. There's some small ag fields out there. Can't vouch for whether they allow access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUG Report post Posted August 21, 2019 Your best bet is to drive around. They will fly if near a road. I've seen doves in 7 but it's hard to pinpoint a spot they like. Any tank with water should have some nearby but it sounds like those are scarce right now. Sunflower patches attract them but since it's hardly rained those might be hard to find. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only place I have had any luck up here is sitting in a big open sunflower patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
