High & Wide Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I've recently purchased an M2 w/26" Advantage Timber finish and I love the gun. Does anyone have any experience w/M2 on high volume dove hunts in South America? What was the ammo of choice, size shot preferred and typical pass shooting ranges/chokes. Any similar responses regarding dove shoots anywhere would be welcome. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK JACK Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Since you could not pick up on the sarcasm of my post, I have to ask you the same question. Kicked in the head by a mule or struck by lightning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol'Roy Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I have never hunted south of the border, but my favorite load choke combo is imp. cyl. and a stout load of 71/2 shot. You can nock any dove dead out to about 35yds. Just make shure that you lead them enough. My best shoot to date is a 15 bird limmit with 22 shots useing the combo stated above Black Jack you are right on I coulden't think of a better reason for getting a new shotgun, since mine is camo too.

tucker301 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I don't think you'll be able to take your own ammo down there. From what I hear, the outfitters will sell you the ammo and it will be what they want you to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High & Wide Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thanks for the feedback. I would have replied earlier but have been busy trying to find my gun... I retire this next year and will have much more time to shoot. South America is a dream at this point but I thought the knowledge of what is most commonly shot there would help me decide which way to go. For hunting here at home, I believe I'll be shooting 9 shot with Improved Cylinder in the early season (birds flying closer). In the mid to late season, I'll shoot 8 shot in Modified and Improved Modified (birds higher in general). I think I'll be happy if I can get to where I can hit one out of three instead of one out of five! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
