Buck Knives, Inc., a widely recognized global leader in the hunting, outdoor, and everyday carry (EDC) knife markets, offers up these tips to mourning dove and upland hunters across America:
*Scout early and often: When hunting doves, remember that as weather changes and food sources diminish, the birds change flight and feeding patterns. Scouting for flocks of doves roosting in trees without leaves will tell you where they are gathering, and observing will often reveal where those birds are going for food or water. Quality binoculars aid in this effort. Remember also that dove hunting seasons are open beyond the opening day or weekend.
* Pause often: When hunting upland species like ruffed and spruce grouse, walk slowly and pause often. During midday periods, these grouse often rest in trees and often times the birds will sit motionless and watch as you walk past. Pausing can cause the birds to panic and take flight—and reveal their presence. When you pause, be ready for action. Always remember to load your shotgun!
*Choose the right knife for your after-success chores. Read more
