Nice hunt
good hunt.
I don’t think there is that many morning doves left in the country, cold snap last week caused the last hold outs to vamanos south.
Now, the collared eurasians are a different story, just like illegal immigrants, they don’t ever seem to leave.

Plenty of mourners here in Texas !!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a great outing for all involved !!!
Good shooting, good eating, happy dog.---------------Ray
I am thinking grilled bacon wrapped Dove for supper !!!
Yeah ,,,,,,,, I lightly brown mine and butterfly a jalapeño, remove the placenta and wrap it around the breast with bacon and and then grill over coals ,,,,,,,,,,
Sadly they are few and far in between here too! 😥
That sounds good
🙂🙂🙂
Were any Mexican birds ?
Nope ,,,,,,,
Had a fraternity brother who's mother was from Louisiana. Used to breast them out and give them to her and the next day go over to their house for a Dove dinner. Her graveys were different each time and one was better than the other. Always served with a different dish as well.
whats so special about the banded ones forge???????? reward, bounty....
I have taken many, many doves and never seen a ‘banded’ one ,,,,,,,, I suppose you can get pertinent info if you contact USF&WS ,,,,,,,,
Bands are a trophy of sorts.
Shot a few banded Canada geese. Buddies have a lot of duck and goose bands.
You call the number on them, or enter info on line.
They track where they were banded, how old they are, and then ultimately, where they are recovered to help them understand migration patterns.
