Dove hunting

[brewer3401]

Are there any pay hunts in Southeast Louisiana or Southwest Mississippi ?

Interested to know as well. It's been too long since I've had dove poppers...

I looked into the lottery hunt, but it noted they didn't plant field this year and require steel shot.

I quit dove hunting because of that steel shot crap. All of the open land I use to hunt is now posted so no place to go where I can use lead shot. Low brass 20 gauge with 7.5 steel shot is good for about 10yds and you have to use a modern shotgun. It is absolute trash. I tried hunting with it several times.

I think there is a paid dove place near Morgan City. I have not looked in a while.

I'd like to know too. Or any dove leases/clubs

Check the hunting regs under WMAs. Several fields. All non-toxic shot. Sandy Hollow in Tangipahoa has two fields. The opening day is a youth hunt with adult supervision.

I have always used lead #9 shot 12 ga. I can't find any non-lead shot in 12 ga. Only thing I saw was 20 ga. Monarch in #8.

Imagine 9 shot steel. Spitting at doves would have more success.

I am not seeing anything from Wild Life and Fisheries about public dove fields this year. Have any of yall seen anything?

The one down in Plaquemines Parish is closed due to Hurricane Ida.

Wonder if Sandy Hollow will be open
