I went about 15 years ago. I was not as mad at them as some are. I know guys who KILL 5000 doves per day but I did not do that. I made 6 hunts total. I limited myself to 500 shots per hunt and that was enough for me. I was shooting a 20 ga. So I bought and shot 3000 shells and killed almost exactly 2000 doves. That is about a 66% kill ratio. I asked the outfitter what was the best kill ratio he had ever seen and it was about 75%. BTW shells were $12/box back then.

Hope this helps and have a great hunt.

At a 75% hit rate that's 6,667 shells a day or 267 boxes of shells. That is insane. Also at 7/8oz of lead in each that is something like 365 pounds of lead being slug around the shooter.

Of course my math may be off or I am completely misunderstanding these hunts.
