Carlos Avery Dove Field

[NDL]

Has anyone been out to the dove field at Carlos Avery? If so any luck? I have never been there but was thinking of trying it this weekend.

i was there last year not a bird in sight

was there this year DEER SCOUTING.. and saw a fair amount of birds around there it was in the evening could have gotten a limit. i havent been there in a month or 2 so dont know how its looking now. It is always good to try though. remember its only steel shot

To bad a guy has to use steel or nontox to hunt it. If you could shoot lead I bet the field would get more use.

Thanks for the info. Do you know what street the field is off of?

take 65 towards east bethel take 22 viking boulevard and follow it for a few miles you will then turn where there is a store to the right i think its 17 or 197th NE go straight ahead there is a curve to keep following 17 you will get to a kind of T with no stop sign for you you can either go straight to carlos avery DIRT ROAD or keep going with the curb towards the right on 17 or turn LEFT on JORDELL or something like that just turn LEFT there your first parking lot to the right is the managed dove field if you go past the cemetery you have gone too far

did you manage to get out there?

I went out on Saturday. Kicked up one dove out of the field while walking out to the shooting station. That was the only dove we saw. It could have been the weather as it was cloudy. I may try again on a better day.

ive noticed in the past few seasons that you have more success the first 2 weekends usually before the first cool front hits after that youre lucky to see many of them. See any deer or turkey?

Tracks of both.
