Maybe the only gamebirds in the USA that offer as many different presentations as doves is ducks, IMO. Both can, and do, come from any and all directions. Crows will, too, but they're not gamebirds. While the social aspect is enjoyable, usually, it's not what keeps me chasing them. It's the sporty shooting that draws me again and again. Heck, I shoot alone often ...... just me and the birds.
I have read that more shells are expended at doves than any other gamebird, again, in the USA. Have also read that the average is about 1 dove bagged for 7 shells fired. I have no way of knowing if that is accurate.
