Sooo...how do you do it? Like consistently.
I have a location with corn and a water source but their travel paths seem random and no real best place to set up.
I have seen some interesting reaction to a mojo dove...is it good to have more than one of them? Do regular decoys work for them?
99% of fields here are soybean or feed corn. Is one better than the other?

I never hunted them,are they like hunting pigeons in pea fields?

Alot like waterfowl, you need to hunt where they want to be. Decoys and mojos will help when you are already on location, but they won't pull birds far from where they want to go. Good luck!

Thanks guys.
Boco, I assume it's very much the same as pigeon hunting, but I've been stuck with wingshooting a few and blasting a few off of tree limbs LOL.
Just wondering if there is a strategy towards stand location and use of decoys, etc. To get more consistent opportunity

Sunflower fields. Even then, they can be hit or miss year to year.

LOL, much harder to clean and carry back to the truck.!

Good fields can be anything from silage chopped corn to the local farmer bush hogging a ragweed field. Watch the power lines or fences for sitting birds. Get permission and couple buddies shoot until your head hurst LOL.

Doves are hard to hunt in a field by yourself.takes several shooters to keep the birds flying.will be alot of birds land in the field to eat out of your reach by yourself.decoys usually just get you a few closer shot opportunities for birds that where already coming your way or slow them down some.go scout a field early in the morning or in the eavning and se where the most birds are coming in then on the weekend spread everyone out accordingly.Never shoot low birds!

Also when I set up a MOJO I will set 7 or 8 static decoys around it to imitate feeding birds and one landing

We hunt them over water in the evenings.

yep

I’ve hunted them early in season over a cut fallow field. Then over a cut silage field, then a planted winter wheat field and lastly a cut corn field. Never had much luck over a bean field. I will usually run one MOJO, 6 decoys and 1 maybe 2 flock-a-flickers. I feel they do get used to seeing the decoys. Can’t tell ya how many times I’ve walked out and shut the decoys off when the flying slows down, go back and sit down and the birds will fly back in. Same with birds who fly up to a tree or line and can see you at your set up, several times I’ve got up and walked away from their line of sight and they would fly back in.

In my opinion doves are a bit more elusive than pigeons and taste a whole lot better too.

Here a combined canola field is best. If there is a patch of pigeon grass that is a good spot in the canola. Put up a dead branch that is 10-15 foot tall with decoys in it. Even if there isn't a tree for a mile.

I've had more luck with static decoys on the ground and a single wing mojo rested on side with wing in the air. Assuming it resembles ground/feeding movement. I forgot my stake one time and it worked great. Hardly ever pack a stake any more and will likely go to the "dove a flicker" decoys at some point.
