Dove, Dogs, and Shotguns

There are hundreds of dove leases advertised on the Internet and in newspapers. Just about everyone tells you that they have the best dove hunting in Texas. How do you know which ones actually have dove on them?

IF you have a large bank account and can afford to hunt on the premium leases that cost $200 per day and up then this is probably not a problem for you. However, if you are looking for a good season lease , or even a reasonably priced day lease then your challenge is great. The choices you have are to take the time to drive to the leases and scout them or take the landowner’s word for it. As far as having enough time, for most of us, time is a precious and driving countless hours is not realistic. I might add that driving to a dove lease in July will only tell you so much about the lease, wait too long to scout and they might not have any spots left, damned if you do and damned if you don’t.  The landowner or person leasing the land is not going to be completely honest, and I don’t fault them, they just want the money.

This very problem is the main drive for Dove, Dogs, and Shotguns. If you notice up top there is a form to submit a dove lease and also a form to submit a review of a dove lease. The idea is for landowners to have a place to list their lease and a place for hunters to place reviews of these leases. The reviews are simple, and hopefully, once the site gets going. will become a place for dove hunters to check before making a commitment to purchase a dove lease. Let us do the scouting for you, so all you need to worry about is dove hunting.

It is free to post a review, free to post a lease, and free to view all of the above. All that it will cost you is a little time to send us the reviews and leases to make this site a one stop shop for dove hunting.

Tell all your fellow dove hunters and landowners to go to www.dovehunting101.com and submit reviews and leases.
