For those who have never hunted dove....I read that the ammo manufacturers make more money from dove season than any other season.
The story said that the national average for dove is 1 1/2 boxes of shells per bird. Just about every time you pull the trigger, they do make a move that will make for a clean miss. Its humbling.
Fixed it for you. I can personally attest to the mourning dove's ability to out fly most any shotgun.
