Dove Opener
 

Anybody get out for the dove opener on Monday, 1 Sept? It was awful here in California. I managed 3, my buddy got four. We usually have limits by 9:00AM...

What are your dove limits over there?

Quit at 15. (NC Daily limit)

Iowa daily 15, possession limit 30.

No Photos?????:mad:

Not very generous. I went rock pigeon and dove shooting over corn at the beginning of our season. The Rockies are considered to be a pest here and can be shot in their hundreds. Once we started shooting, the sky was black with them wheeling and jinxing in the blue winters sky. I stopped counting at thirty, but must have shot over fifty.

Rock pigeons are a nuisance pest over here and there is no season or limit on them. The mourning dove is the most targeted species. We also have Eurasioan Doves and spotted ring-necked doves which are also classified as a non-native species. There is no season or limit on them. We have a small species, the Mexican Ground Dove that is protected...

Quail season here in Az and lots of birds due to the wet summer...water holes are wet and lots of feed.
Tons of Cali folks in cammy's around town.

Iowa is only in it's third season, it practically took an act of congress in order to have a season, Mourning Doves seemed to really tug at the heart strings of the anti hunting crowd and those people put up quite a resistance.

PRB- Arizona is a great quail hunting state. You have Gambel's, Mearn's and Scaled Quail. California has more hunters than Az but more quail are harvested in Arizona than California. I am going to Nevada for Chukar or I would be in Arizona for the quail opener.

The special season opened here yesterday, I managed 13 white wing and 2 mourning doves. That is the daily bag limit.
