September 1 is a popular day for those who enjoy warming up a shotgun barrel. I’d venture to say more Americans swing a gun that day than any other. Why? For a majority of states, Indiana included, it signals the opening of dove hunting season. Nothing says it’s time to bring on the hunting seasons like a good dove hunt. It’s hard to compare anything to wingshooting and doves serve as the harbinger of the following migratory and upland bird seasons. Plus it’s easy to enjoy. Your gun, a bucket to serve as a seat and supply container and some camo clothing is all you need. Sure you can also purchase decoys and blinds but even those aren’t necessary to get started. Other than minimal equipment, you’ll also need a license, game bird habitat stamp and HIP number.
