Camouflage, and the Best Guns for Hunting Doves

Remember, doves have very-good eyesight. When they spot something unnatural in the place where they feed, travel and/or water, they’ll veer away from that unnatural object. During the early season, I almost always will wear Mossy Oak Obsession, because there is a lot of green in the part of Georgia where I hunt. For early dove season in the South, I don’t believe there is a better pattern than Mossy Oak Obsession.

Where You Place Your Feet and Using the Correct Ammo for Doves

Footwork is an important key to shooting accurately. Often a hunter will be sitting on a dove stool and has to move his body to compensate for the angle that the dove is coming toward him. He will run out of swing and pull his head up off the gun, and the gun will stop. Instead you want to have as much room as possible to swing your gun left or right, depending on the

ProStaffer Kevin Faver's Best Florida Bow Buck

n Florida, we have what we call a triple rut. All bucks in Florida start rutting in August, and they well be in rut until January. Throughout that whole time, we will see fresh scrapes and rubs.

ProStaffer Kevin Faver’s Biggest Buck

On November 10 a couple of years ago, I was hunting a Kansas creek bottom. On my right was a grassy plateau. Late that afternoon, I watched a 4 point cross the little creek in front of me – only 20-yards from me. I saw him turn and go up to the top of a grassy plateau. When he reached the top, the 4 point stopped and looked hard to my right. As I looked

Kevin Faver Deer Hunts to Take Feral Hogs

To try and get the hogs out of the swamps, we used dogs and lead. We tried using traps, but the hogs wised-up to these fairly quickly. One sow can breed twice in one year, and the females in each litter can be bred at 6 months of age. So, before too long, a region can home way-too-many feral hogs. Actually most Florida deer hunters will have much-better opportunities to take feral hogs than they
