First dove

Nice going Zak. To bad you waited till the last day.
 
The dove population takes quite the hit on opening day. Every day after that is just brought down a little bit more.

Thankfully doves repopulate pretty quick, and quick enough to allow for a second season.

The dove population isn't effected by hunting. In 2019, USFWS estimated that hunters took ~10M out of ~183M (or ~5%) mourning doves. This is way less than the doomed surplus. They just become more difficult to hunt.
