I don't know what made me do it, but I once carried a 20 gauge 1100 skeet gun into the dove field and killed a limit with about one more shell than the "limit". However, it was the least fun I had ever had shooting doves. I went back to long, tight bored smallbores, and never looked back. If you shoot all your doves at 20 yards, you can't avoid picking them up yourself. Shoot them at 55 yards and someone else will pick them up for you.
