I enquired about a Dove hunt on a Sorghum field already planted for feed. 300.00 per gun !
Ok great someone will pay and the place will probably be filled, but where does this ever end?
Normal every day hunters are quickly being run out of either Fl or hunting all together.
Ill never pay 600.00 to bring my daughter on a shoot, plus shells and everything else.
Lots of greedy folks out there

And as long as people pay it it will continue. I truly can't believe that price to sit in the sun and shoot doves. They are fun but $300. Jeez!

dove hunting rules and regs i will never understand, so its ok to hunt over fields that supply food or seed with dozens of other hunters sitting close by with mojos and clip on decoys everywhere but if someone sits out in the middle of nowhere under the pines 50 yds from a pond where 10 lbs of bird seed may or may not have been scattered the week before he,s a lawbreaker. if you only take what the limit is or less most of the time whats the difference.

I agree Meat. The state even plants public dove fields to attract birds. Private ranches plant millet and disc it under to host great hunts... who should care that Johnny Birdseed dropped a few buckets here or there as long as he takes only 15?

I’ve always said the same, a limit is a limit.

Supply and demand. I keep thinking about a high dollar lease to be able to come and go as I want with the ability to shoot a legal deer. One said I had to go by the club rules for antler width and total points, and agree to maintain feeders. I don’t want to farm them I want to hunt what the native woods supplies. Big daddy club pres said I may not be right for “his” club. We parted ways with a handshake.

I’m thinking to take my 6 year old son out Saturday to a spot I hope we could blast one out of a pine tree. If we get one I would be perfectly happy. I don’t see how this could be improved. Way better than blasting one in the yard over bait, which I would equate to a “field” as being about the same thing. Maybe one day I’ll change my mind, but so far I’m led to create my experiences with effort rather than pay for them. So far St. Vincent is the most expensive hunt I’ve been on, so less than $40. Never paid a dime to hunt anything else.
It’s hard to be real proud of something that is made up to be easy/easier. Today my son shot a little 7 point buck three times with the Daisy BB gun from the porch and I didn’t even congratulate him. It just ain’t sporting when it happens that easy. He was trying to lie to me and say that there was a squirrel over there, but I was practically standing between him and the deer and saw it all happen.
