They will sell them have no fear. Absolutely insanity to come up a load like that. A solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

The average dove hunter typically fires between 5 to 9 shots for each dove bagged, with many estimates suggesting around 5 shots per dove. This means that to bag a limit of 15 doves, a hunter might use approximately 75 to 135 shots.

How big are these doves?

I feel silly trying to bag my limit with a puny 28ga.
