Never was as good with it as I was with the .410. We attributed it to only having the one shot and needing to make it count vs 3 shots.
Personally, I hated eating dove, because my stepmom only ever made birds and rice which was bland as hell. Wasn't worth shootin' or cleanin' them for that. Grandad on the other hand made some killer quail in gravy. More fun hunting quail too. You don't just sit there and wait for 'em to fly over.

Now, I'd just rather go shoot some clay pigeons instead, and roast up a cornish game hen (did I mention I hate cleaning birds?). Once it gets cooler, I think I'll see if Dad wants to go do that.
