I thought feds set the beginning date as Sept 1st
have some AZ hunting questions for you, shoot me a pm if you would.
BTTT, glad you had fun, our dove hunting usually lasts a week 10 days. Frosts come and doves head out.
Thanks,
Mule
Ariz allows dove hunting before the 1st of sept 3 days??
I thought feds set the beginning date as Sept 1st
ob....... There have been some changes in the Ariz Game laws in the last few years. "Eurasian Collard Doves" showed up about 7 or so years ago. We were hunting only that type of dove. Originally there was a limit and a season on these doves.
Since "Euros" as we call them are an invasive species, the game and fish dept has now declared there is no limit or season on these doves so they can be hunted all year as many as you want.
The dog showed up all three days we hunted and retrieved for us. She was a real sweetheart.
In NM you can shoot collared doves any time.
He just said doves.
Here in Texas no closed season no limit on Eurasian, Collard, Ringneck
they have bunch of names for that invasive species
Most got their Whitewing limit
but the guys who could shoot got 20-30 Eurasian also[:I]

Did he run home or did he follow you home, have a hunting buddy[:D]
I got one double (2 birds- 1 shot) witnessed by my two hunting buddies.
I fired 98 rounds of AA 1/8oz #7 ammo during the trip. Got 47 birds, but none of them landed in the pile of dead ones. [:(]
Their the size of BIG Pigeons too. They still fly like acrobats and are tough to hit cleanly.Not sure about seasons but, their is a guy a few towns N of me that plants 40 acres of Millet every other year or so.His place id THICK with the collard doves and they taste,to me,WAY,WAY better than the Mourning doves..Their breast meat actually turns into almost WHITE meat when cooked.... Great for Dove & dumplins!!![:p][:p]
