Their prime activity time is the first couple hours of daylight and the best time is from about 4 till 5:30 pm. We set up a Mojo dove decoy and a couple ground feeder decoy ...

Re: Dove Hunting and rain?
Have noticed that around here when hunting doves in the grain stubble fields that they are way more likely to fly around and feed when it's warm and dry rather than when the ground is wet. Good luck.

Re: Spinning Wing decoys
Nothing better for the first week or so of dove season. Stick them in a straw bale still sitting in the field and the birds try to land on the darn things.

Re: How long are your hunts?
Depends on the temperature. When chukar hunting early season generally about 3 hrs. or so, done by noon when it gets hot. Later in season will go 4-6 hrs.

When I first started chukar hunting I was told the first thing you do is take your favorite gun your going to hunt with and just throw it down in the rocks very first thing so when you fall while chasing them birds(and you will) the scratches won't bother you any more
