Good summary on the Big 3 elements of dove hunting: variety of grains & seeds, nearby tree roosts, sandy roads for grit. My experience is the birds fly in the A.M. starting around 8:30, and more so after 4 p.m. (South time).

You might stake out a piece of land (public or private) right before opening day, and see if they are flying in. Then get your friends together and start a tradition! If they are flying, you won't regret it.
