Dove hunting in Córdoba is more than a pastime—it’s a legacy. To elevate your game and make every volley count, apply these proven dove hunting tips from H&H professional guides.
Location & Movement: Foundations of Success
Choosing the right spot is half the battle. Scout high-traffic flyways near crop edges and roosting trees, then set up with the sun and wind at your back. Maintain a relaxed, balanced stance and avoid sudden motions; doves have razor-sharp eyesight and will change course the moment they spot movement.
Understanding Dove Behavior & Flight Patterns
Watch the sky before the action peaks. Morning flights usually run into the wind; afternoon birds drift lazily toward water. Read wing beats—fast, direct lines mean hungry birds heading to feed, while erratic flutters signal wary survivors. Anticipate speed and angle, swing through and squeeze smoothly.
Gear & Equipment: Setting Up for a Great Session
A well-fitted 12- or 20-gauge, patterned with the right choke, boosts consistency. Lightweight, breathable clothing in earth tones keeps you cool and concealed. Pack thin shooting gloves, wrap-around eye protection and a mesh vest stocked with shells. Hydration packs beat bottles when temperatures climb.
Safety, Cadence & Shot Selection
Sustain accuracy by pacing your shots—short bursts, brief pauses, repeat. Lower the barrel between volleys to rest shoulders and maintain focus. Keep ears protected, communicate with nearby shooters and clear chambers before changing positions. Clean your shotgun nightly to prevent fouling on high-volume days.
