Hello guys. Anybody know any good spots to go pigeon or dove hunting with an air rifle in Northern California? I’m using an HW95 springer. Any farms?

Gotta be a bunch of them. Go for a drive and ask. You have to put a little work into it and be prepared for some rejection.

As wahoowad stated, permissions are hard to get at times. There often has been a bad apple in the barrel and it takes quite a bit of time to build trust with the land/dairy/farm owner. Once I get a permission I protect it very closely. I don't even invite friends/family or talk about where they are at. Just take your time, knock on doors and shake a lot of hands. Might even need to get your hands dirty working around the place before hunting permission is given. All good if I don't eventually get permission, at least I left a positive behind where there was a strong negative.

Be careful ,some doves are protected with strict seasons and bag limits such as Mourning Doves. Others ,such as Banded Doves may be classified as pest. Check your state and federal regs for your hunt area. Good luck and safe shooting
