DOVE HUNTING
WEATHER - The weather during Whitewing season is generally very warm. In the 90's so dress accordingly.
FIELD COLORS - Doves "Flare" from bright colors so it is important to dress in field colors - light green, dark khaki or camouflage.
SLACKS - For shooting - 2 or 3 pairs of light-weight cotton slacks in field colors. Evening temperatures are warm so light cotton is appropriate for dinner.
SHORTS - 2 or 3 pair
SWIMSUIT - Bring one.

SHIRTS - For shooting - bring 4 - 6 short-sleeved, light-weight cotton shirts in field colors.
LONG SLEEVED SHIRTS - For sun protection only.
FOOTWEAR - For shooting - bring light-weight boots with rigid soles. They should lace at least to the ankle. Cordura or Cordura/Leather combinations are great.
HAT - Sun protection is a must. For shooting use a wide-brimmed straw, canvas or poplin hat. As an alternative use poplin baseball style cap.
RAINGEAR - Light-weight rainsuit or poncho.
EYEWEAR - Stray shots are always possible so wear protective shooting glasses.

SHOT GUNS
High-volume shooting and warm weather will stress any shotgun. Mechanical failures are fairly common. We recommend you bring two guns for choke variety and insurance in case of malfunction. We also encourage you to bring an extra trigger assembly and spare parts.

Since ammunition is available only in 12 or 20 gauge you should bring guns in these gauges. Gun style is strictly a personal choice.

Many shooters prefer to use a gas-operated shotgun because they have less recoil, but they are also more likely to malfunction. We also recommend you bring a shoulder-style recoil pad to reduce recoil injuries.

Choke selection is also a matter of personal choice. You will encounter a wide variety of shots, from close-in to high-fly. A gun with a variable choke is ideal. Guns bored improved cylinder or modified are also good choices.

Be sure to bring only shotguns listed on your Permit application.
DO NOT MAKE ANY SUBSTITUTIONS OR YOU WILL RISK CONFISCATION
