September is always so hot. All the nut cases are out there the first day and Labor Day. Last year under a power pole and a dove landed right above me. From uphill shooting down towards me 100 yards away (you can imagine the pattern size), he shot at the dove on the line. 20 gauge time.
October is better. Only true dove hunters there. Shoot at daybreak when they all have to come in. 16 gauge time.
The Christmas season is the best. Everyone else is deer hunting, doves are fat migratory birds in large flocks, and you can get your limit everyday in about an hour if you scout where they are. Especially rainy days and around power lines. 12 gauge time.
