There's a river that flows about 200 yards from the land I'd be moving to, and there's three large cottonwoods (some the only ones in sight) about 10 feet from the fence, so is there a chance I could catch dove flying to roost or drink even if I'm on my land?

I'm probably going to be moving from South Texas to Wyoming in the next year and have some questions about dove hunting in Wyoming.
