If you are a dove hunter, chances are you have tried long distance shooting with your bow. But if you struggle to get a dove to 40 yards with your bow there are tips that can help you make better shots. Practice makes perfect. These 10 tips will ensure you shoot at your best 40-yard dove flight.
Identifying a dove
You will need patience to identify a dove within forty yards. Doves can see well and often alter their course to avoid you. Keep your feet flat while waiting for the dove to enter range. If you're shooting from a tree stand or a tripod, put some soil under your feet. Wait for the dove to enter range. Take your shot!
Change the choke on your shotgun
A good way to increase accuracy and speed when hunting doves long ranges is to change the choke of your shotgun. A standard choke will work, but a choke tube will reduce the shot's energy and improve your lead time. Before you start, ensure that your gun has not been loaded and that the muzzle points in a safe direction.
Decoys allow you to get closer shots
Dove decoys are a great way to get close shots. The best place to hide from the eye is key. Doves are able to see clearly and will often change their course to escape your shot. Find some cover, such as tall brush, sunflowers, hay bales, and sunflowers no matter where you are. These areas can add an element of surprise to your shot, and could make the difference between a good shot and one that is lost.
Dove hunting should be free from venomous creatures
These are the best tips for avoiding being attacked by venomous animals while doving. Texas' early deer season and dove season are hot, making it ideal to hide reptiles in tall vegetation. It is also possible to spot snakes, spiders, lizards, and scorpions. Texas is blessed with a very long season for these animals.

How To
How to hunt wild Ducks
Decoys are the most common method of hunting wild ducks. Live decoys are the best way to hunt wild ducks. They should be placed at a distance away from your blind, so you can view them from afar. Avoid hunting in windsy conditions, as the birds will flee very quickly. You should also avoid hunting with other hunters as they may scare some birds.
It is important to know how many wild ducks you wish to hunt. If you don’t know which type of bird your shooting is, you should not shoot. It is important to have enough ammunition in your arsenal to shoot as many birds as possible.
If you do end with killing many birds you will want to clean the meat and prepare it before you eat. Because the meat dries quickly once it is cooked, it's best to prepare it immediately. Once the meat has been cooked properly, remove any feathers and bones.
Wild ducks often live near water, but they can sometimes be seen flying through fields of woods or swamps. They are often low-flying, making them easier targets. When hunting wild ducks, try to stay hidden until you get close enough to make a shot. This means waiting patiently for the opportunity to shoot.
