    having dove hunted every year for years all I can tell you is that your places will be loaded with dove all year all the way up to august 31st and then on sept 1st opening day there won't be a dove in the sky for miles   lol  .

Josh the robo doves work awesome in the early season, they will decoy to one just like ducks do to a spread. Make sure u leave it 25-35 yds out or they will be in your face! Love dove hunting and dove eating lol

Mojo battery decoys work excellent where I hunt.
No special stamp for doves just a duck stamp u need during duck season so regular hunting license is good.
Judge peel if u run out of birds come to my side of town we have 1000s of acres to hunt on and it's looking good right now.

That's what folks say about squirrel too, yet every time I fry a batch up...here comes company! lol. Same thing seems to happen with some dove breasts and a pepper wrapped in bacon. If I could get the meat off everything else as quick as I can pluck a breast off a dove, I wouldn't know what to do with all my free time.

I love dove hunting. We hunt hard the first few weeks of season. Each year we have a memorial dove fest to honor my best friend that passed away. We cook around 500-700 dove. A group of us hunt family land around Jonah Texas. Mojo dove work great in some places but not others. Be where the dove want to be and they will come right it it , just like duck hunting.

    ya'll don't forget about them white wing doves . if I'm not mistaken you will need a stamp for them . but I've never hunted much in the area's they are prone to flyby .

Just a heads up you do need a migratory bird stamp for dove duck etc. it's 7 bucks and you can harvest mourning,white wing and white tipped dove just no more than 2 white tipped in a daily bag limit.
