After reading the above habit of doves, you should have a general idea of where and when to look for them at their "spots". A good idea would be to start scouting for your doves before hunting season begins. Doves are creatures of habit and can be patterned like any other migratory bird and they usually will use the same areas until they migrate.
A pair of binoculars and some time before 9 am or after 3 pm and the dove scout is on. We know that doves can be found at the following places:
- Along Trees and Power Lines
- Fields - Especially just harvested grain fields
- Watering Holes
- Graveling Sites
By scouting the areas mentioned above you are likely to find a band of dove. If you watch this group of dove you will find all of their spots and be able to choose when and where to hunt them.
