Dove Hunting: Ash Meadows

[DMark702]

Has anyone done any hunting at Ash Meadows Preserve?

I have never been out there except to visit doing wildlife tourist stuff and wanted to figure out where it’s setup to hunt with tourists visiting and such.

Forgot to add - Dove Hunting is what I was planning

They went to Steel shot only and they have gradually removed the best fields over the years. The desire to restore it to its "natural" state has removed a ton of the dove food. I was out there about 6 months ago and we were discussing open and closed areas. I didn't see any of the LE around to get better clarification. Went looking for one too, as we needed a tow strap to help a guy that rolled his truck.

Awww man I was afraid of that.
Thank you for the reply.
Where then does anyone go for dove that doesn’t require reservations?

I have a friend said he was hunting in Overton and took a lot of dove out there

I was thinking of going but didn’t get myself a reservation for the opener. Not sure if they loosen it up a few weeks later to just people showing up.
I’ll give it a try there

Unless its changed you only need reservations for the opener after that its wide open at Overton until duck gets going.

Ahhhhhhh I didn’t realize it was for the opener and opening weekend only.
Thank you!
