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?
Just happy to be here.

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
Just happy to be here.

We hunt them over water in the evenings. yep

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.
