What kind of places are suitable for night hunting (turtle doves, etc., around Beijing)

1. Living habits of turtle doves

Pearl-necked turtle doves like to live in groups in bamboo forests. The choice of bamboo forests is generally small bamboo forests near fields. The density of bamboo forests is not very high. It is best to choose bamboo forests. There are two reasons for hunting on rainy days. First, the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest will be lowered due to rain, making it easier to find turtle doves. Second, turtle doves like to squat in the middle of bamboos because of rain, making them easier to find. . When hunting at night, you should observe the droppings on the ground. Turtle dove droppings are white, in piles or flakes. They are usually in the bamboo forest above the excrement, and in the current season, turtle doves live in groups. It is best to see one or two, and then look around the area. You can usually find other turtle doves, ranging from three to five. Then there are more than ten or twenty. First choose the turtle dove you want to hit, that is, the turtle dove whose chest and head can be seen. Try to be careful not to hit it too low and hit the head as much as possible. After hitting it low, the turtle dove will not die immediately but will fly up. This sound will scare other turtle doves. , other turtle doves will basically follow.

Mountain doves basically stay in green hills and forests and are easy to find. The first way to find them is the same as the bead-necked dove. The second type is also to look at the green hill forest, which is mainly on the hills covered with valleys or other granular plants. The forests are generally not too dense, and the ground is open, that is, there is basically no grass growing on the ground. The green hill trees in the green hill forest are Generally, the height is about 6 meters. The height of turtle doves squatting on the trees is about 3 meters to 5 meters. Of course, there are also those in high green hills and forests, with the highest height of about 8 meters. This kind of turtle doves also live in groups. Find one and squat on the tree. The method is usually to squat alone or two together. After you find it, pay attention to the surrounding area and you will gain something.

Second, Turtle Dove Positioning

This season, Turtle Doves usually return to their nests around 6:30. In other words, Turtle Doves do not return to their nests after dark. They will sit in trees. After staying there for a long time until dark, it will move a small area, but the general direction remains unchanged, and the moving distance is only the distance of a few trees or bamboos. When searching, you can observe the general direction of the turtle dove's flight, and then listen to the flapping sound of the turtle dove to easily determine its location.

3. Other suggestions

The living environment of different places is different, and the habitats of turtle doves have also changed. Generally speaking, it is best to stay in places that are easily blown by the wind and opposite to the sun. There are relatively few turtle doves inhabiting places, which means turtle doves like to stay in leeward places. In places where bamboo forests are rare or even absent, turtle doves can also be found on trees close to bamboo forests or on trees with dense leaves. In the bamboo forests and mountains, there are also other birds that inhabit, including finger-sized ones and magpies. If the purpose of hunting is to hunt turtle doves, it is recommended not to hunt other birds.
