I managed an exact even 3 shots per bird yesterday. I have read that 5 is average. 2 per bird is my goal every year but I'm inconsistent as a field goal kicker at Bama. I get hot and then go cold or vice versa.

What's you guys average?

I hit most of them that get within range but they just weren't coming in good Saturday so i was throwing some hail Mary's. I killed two at 50-60 yards and 5 total with about 20 shots.

usually killed a limit with one box, Sometimes less, sometimes more.

I watched my dad kill a limit straight with no misses on day when I was young.

I watched an old black man on Nab Drennens farm in Tishabee kill 12 for 12 with a 16ga single shot...and he missed one bird and doubled on another shot!!!!!


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

God helped me out yesterday obviously, i killed 15 with 20 shots. 2 of those misses were shots i shouldn’t have taken at one bird at 45 or 50 yards. I have never shot that well before.


Yeah c’mon. Daniel White

BhamFred you reminded me of my nephew a few years back. He is not a particularly good shot but I witnessed him shoot a triple with one shot. 2 were stone dead and the third he had to chase down but he claimed it without another shot.
I have seen and shot a few doubles but that is the only triple I have ever witnessed.

I would take myself out to dinner, get a buzz and make out with myself if I shot like that! Good job!

I had to shoot the same bird twice Saturday. I was taking the birds out of my bucket to count them and one flew out of my hand. Shot him dead the second time.

It was my first time dove hunting in a long time. My average was bad, but I had a blast and squeaked out a limit.

Had a good opening day 14 birds around 20 shells. I usually shoot around 80% on a recreational sporting clays course. My 15 year old son got 2 with about 2 boxes of shells. LOL! He shot about 60% on the clays course weekend before. Hats off to Lowndes WMA for a safe, enjoyable youth hunt.

I killed 15 on 37 shots, not very good this year. was 15 on 23 shots last year. My 14 year old was 15 on about 150 shots, but he sure was smiling. My 17 year old daughter got 15 on 47 shots, and then the 16 year old daughter who hasn't hunted in 6-7 years killed 11 on 19 shots. Man was it fun to watch them burn powder.
