These guys have covered just about everything you will need to know. I don't recall anyone mentioning decoys, but they are a great asset. The new animated decoys - like the MOJO - are great. I have two and several other stationary ones that I usually stick in the top of fence posts. Be careful with the animated decoys though. Doves have a tendency to land right next to them and, at $50 a decoy, you don't want to accidentally shoot them. Dove calls work fairly good too at times, but generally not as well as decoys. Another item I find almost as indispensable as my gun, shells, and decoys is a good steady folding dove stool. It beats sitting on the ground or standing up. I have always found that more birds will fly by you when you are comfortably sitting absolutely still. Oh yeah, and full camo is a must, at least around here. I have seen many guys get out there wearing a white tee shirt and faded blue jeans and can't understand why they aren't getting a shot when everyone wearing camo and/or sitting so their silhouette is broken up are melting their gun barrels. Good luck!
