Begining dove hunting

[Mr. 16 gauge]

Michigan doesn't have a season, but Ohio does.....and I'm not that far from the border!

I'm thinking about going down next fall and taking a few days to hunt specifically doves, but maybe take advantage of the early teal season, or maybe some other hunting opportunities as well.

Being a rank novice, what is the best way for a beginner to go about dove hunting? I will do some 'cyberscouting', but I won't be able to physically check out any areas due to time/work constraints. I have also read a few books with chapters dedicated to dove hunting, and will reread them as well.

Any other advice would be appreciated as well....do decoys work? Best time of day? Best nonagricultural areas?
Thanks in advance for any "pearls of wisdom"
