Hello Hi-Point Community,

I have a question for all of you dove hunters out there waiting for september 1st to come. A few weeks ago my house was robbed and my shotgun was stolen forcing me to go buy a new 20Ga. for dove season. After i got the gun i completely forgot what my other gun's choke was since it has been the same for many years. My question is, what choke do you prefer for a 20 Ga. with a 26 inch barrel for dove hunting? Also, where are you living and are you hunting this season??

Thanks for helping out.

My Dad has used a 20ga Remington 1100 for as long as I can recall... He shoots modified chokes... I have always used a 12ga with a full choke... Currently I am living in Alabama.. Most areas that are at all decent for Dove near me are private.. and I simply REFUSE to pay someone $100 for the chance to shoot 200+ shells.. wind up with a sore shoulder... and walk away with 10 birds .. If I am LUCKY. I grew up hunting the Imperial Valley in California.. Down near El Centro and the Mexican border... Almost always limited out.. We had lots of fun out there in the desert...

i dont dove hunt anymore, cuz there is no season in michigan, but i was in cali for 5 years and i used to dust them with a modified

you "could" use a improved cylinder in the AM and PM with a modified throughout the rest of the day...but i dont really swap chokes out that much

Thanks, i think ill be using a mod in mine. Hopefully this season is as good as the last. I got my limit by 9 and was home by 10.

I start with more open chokes early in season and switch to tighter ones as the doves become more weary.Rarely use full unless i find them flying very high

I have been a part of it and it was a great thing and a new experience.
