Changes for Doves

[ilovesprig]

Here are the changes starting Sept. 1 for doves per the state commissioners meeting today.......Inceased to 15 doves per day with no more than 10 being white-winged. Euros year round, no limit, and all counties.

Steve: Thanks for the info. I gotta get out to IV and get some of the euros!

I went to Lake Skinner this morning and saw more euros than I could count, not to mention there were more of them than there were fish! glad to see they will be open all year everywhere

Great news Steve. Good to see that the dove population has increased enough to support a larger bag limit.

It's about darn time with the euros!!! I mean I'm glad they are here to hunt but lets wipe them out so our crops can grow. Down with invasive species

Actually they're not a crop eater........The reason they've done so well in the IV is because of feed lots (corn), spilled grain (wheat), and people feeding them......And when you state "down with invasive species". Does that include introduced species like pheasant, chukar, wild turkeys, LM bass, brown trout, etc. etc?......I can tell you the anti's hate these species as much as the "invasive species".

Personally, I like them here. And wish there was a 25 bird limit......In fact, for the wing shooter, they're a god sent.........2 cents.

Yeeaa.

Not to be argumentative, but Eurasian Collared Doves do not eat standing corn or melons.....Also, it has not been proven they push out any of our natural occurring doves either......In fact, it's been suggested that mourning doves are the aggressor.

[invisible man]

Steve he was the guy wearing shorts made of pheasant feathers, fox fur hat and a pair of cowboy boot/sandal hybrids.

 

[8SteelTown]

hahahahah killer boots bro!

Good info on the topic. Glad to see it's going to be open year round state wide. Now just gotta hope you get good enough views to not drop the wrong type.
