Q: what are the record dove numbers for a single shooter in a day and what's a realistic expectation for someone who's a decent shot
At AWS Lodge, we are renowned for truly exceptional high-volume dove hunting. While official "records" can vary and depend on the individual hunter's dedication, it's not uncommon for experienced shooters to reach thousands of doves in a single day, with some truly dedicated individuals exceeding 5,000 or even 10,000 birds. The sheer volume of doves in our region is astounding, often described as a "dove plague."
For a decent shot, a realistic expectation is to shoot between 1,000 and 2,000 doves per day, or even more, depending on your stamina and shooting rhythm. Our professional bird boys work tirelessly to keep your gun loaded, ensuring you have continuous action from start to finish. We guarantee an unforgettable experience with virtually unlimited opportunities.
