I didn't realize it, but we've barely got a month until dove season opens here in South Carolina. I've never hunted bird before, but I think I'm going to go for it this year.
I still have to get my licenses figured out here but I'm going to do that soon and I also plan to pick up a cheap H&R or Mossberg Maverick or something - I'm on a college student's budget and licenses alone are going to be over $200.
I've actually never even shot a shotgun before (aside from a silenced one at a SilencerCo demo) but I'm pretty experienced with rifles. I plan on taking a trip or two to a local gun club and shooting a couple rounds of clays in some form to prepare for flying targets.
Any tips for what a new shooter should look out for? How to recognize a good field? South Carolina maintains public fields so it's just about selection for me.
Any tips in general will be helpful. Thanks in advance
