Best time to hunt is in the evening near water. The birds will feed during the day, and come to drink an hour or two before sunset.
Camo is not necessary, but wear dark or natural colors. A cap is good to keep the sun out of your eyes. Don't stand out in the open. Kneel or sit close to a tree or bush until you are ready to shoot.
As you are an accomplished shooter, you should know how to swing your gun all the way through your shot. If you miss and see the bird swoop quickly down, you shot behind him. If he pulls up and slows down, you are ahead.
One last tip: watch out for snakes!!

Take alot of shells, just in case. Hunting doves is a blast, but they are kind of hard to hit. They also taste really good.

Use # 71/2 or # 8 shot. Set up near grain fields, preferably wheat or buckwheat fields.*

Your shooting skills are obviously up to it, cammo clothing and a face mask will be a must and no sudden movements before you shoot, they have an impressive turn rate, and as others have said, they are fast.

stick to the basics u already know... if you are as good as you say then u can hit them... be very quick and flexible with your gun swing...
