Whether you’re part of a traditional opening week dove shoot or shooting solo on a quiet afternoon, these four hot spots are where you’ll want to be sitting.

With the freedom to unplug your shotgun, use electronic calls and, best of all, no bag limits, a conservation snow goose hunt offers plenty of off-season fun.
