Upland Game

Unleash the power of high-caliber air guns in turkey hunting. Join Zach Owens in Idaho’s backcountry for an exhilarating run-and-gun style

Like many others, I have heard for years about the droves of roosting doves in Argentina and groups shooting thousands of birds a day. To a guy who has sat for hours in an Alabama dove field waiting for enough dove to fill a 15 bird limit, this seems unfathomable – the stuff of legends, hunting folklore if you will.

Here’s a little-known fact: As hunters begin preparing for deer season, mourning dove begin migrating south and can create phenomenal late season shoots. 

I ordered a new .410 shotgun and a selection of shells, did some testing and patterning, and then headed afield to see if I could bring down a tom or jake with the little-bitty scattergun.

Everyone assumes the best product always has the highest price tag, however, this is not always the truth. I want to point out some features that make the M3K FS 3-Gun Shotgun the best value for your dollar.

I had an opportunity to go back East this spring and chase the larger and more popular Eastern Turkey. I found myself on an Indiana family farm in late April. The Indiana turkey season opens up much later than most midwestern states.

Next time I am in Texas for a fall or winter deer or hog hunt? I’m bringing along my Remington 870 20-gauge. Grilled Dove Poppers are excellent!

Whether you are a seasoned dove hunter or a beginner, these tips can increase your odds of filling limits in the September dove field. 

Upland game seasons are opening in August and September around the country. For those of us in the West who seek punishment and frustration, that means chukar season.
