Any decoy layout tips? This is my first year building my own spread for doves. Currently just have a half dozen clips onS I bought on clearance from walleyworld after last years season.
 
I use one or two robo doves with a half dozen other clipped to branches. We are going to AZ. This week for rabbits and will be scouting for dogs flyways. We'll check it known dove hangout s . I put my robot dove on a ten foot poll on the edge of a Bush or snag.

Just ordered a mojo voodoo, one of their wind winged ones, 4 pack of flickers and a faulk call. I will need a longer pole though to get the motion higher, not sure the length of the pole that comes with the voodoo.

Just invest the Mojo doves....They are all you really need....If you haven't bought the wind activated....Save your money....Takes pretty big winds just to spin them.
 
Amazon was fast, I went to cancel the wind one and had already shipped. will throw it in the mix. Cant wait, got my pass signed for opening day.

What's the ammo situation been like out there, anyone bought recently? long waits and sold out shelves? I was thinking of just using #4 shot since that's what I have on hand if ammo is dried up and a hassle to get during the corona.

#4 steel is huge for mourning doves...If you have nothing else, well then you have to do, what you have to do...I'd start calling around...There's hardly a place that has anything...Maybe Big 5.

ps...You want a dense pattern when hunting such a small bird...Be careful around other hunters too.
 
I was able to find these, it was one of those take it or leave It deals, the Big5 guy knew he had the upper hand on me. the last box. Then it’s the rest of the #4, by the end of the day I will be pissed off shooting #2 at them. Can’t wait, craving some bacon wrapped jalapeño dove poppers, been many years.
