TW you are right about hazards in a dove field. I threw one hunter, an idiot, and his uninvited guest off my dove field about ten years ago for their repeatedly shooting at very low birds even after warnings. He had the balls to invite someone without asking or even knowing me personally. He was invited by a friend who had hunted with me for several years. Typical entitled politician. The idiot became Governor the next year. Lucky for me he was a one term Governor and I never needed a pardon or favor.
But when you hunt on my land, as my guest, I have absolute rules which must be followed by all, no exceptions. No alcohol before or during the shoot, no funny wacky weed, not shooting low repeatedly, no failing to look for every bird shot and no shooting over the limit at all. If lucky you get one warning but that is on a case by case basis. We are here to have fun not duck and cover because some jackass is out of control. And if excused from the field you can forget about the bbq. That's the best part anyways.
It amazes me when you have a field with several hundred birds using it and a 15 bird limit why people shoot at every bird which flies by them and feel the need to bring four boxes of shells. One year I had a one box limit of shells then required the hunter to ride back to the barn for more ammo. The kill per shot ratio doubled but the next year they were back with too many shells again.
