They moved into Missouri over the past decade and are regulated along with the native mourning dove. We can shoot them in season and must count them toward our 15 dove limit. I generally have a pair nesting in my yard, and we see them in the small town we live near. I've never encountered one afield as they seem to like hanging around dwellings. I guess I could shoot my "yard birds," but I'm not sure I need the food that badly. Right now, they are kind of a trophy bird with me, but the State deems them invasive.

Odd that the state would regulate the removal of an invasive species….?

Just another example of misguided regulations by unelected bureaucrats.

Whitewing dove are also regulated, and I've never seen one north of the Missouri River (or south for that matter), but they must be here according to our conservation dept. The regulation digest always includes pictures and "tips" for identification of the species. Below is the identification page minus the pictures. If you (or maybe Stan, the dove expert) might be interested, here's a link to the digest: https://mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/fil...08/2021MBW.pdf I've often contended that going from state to state is like going to another planet. This may be an example. Dove Identification Mourning dove ◾ Grayish-brown ◾ Faster wing beat, more erratic flight path than white-winged dove ◾ 12 inches from tip of beak to end of tail ◾ Call is a soft, inflected cooAHoo followed by several coos White-winged dove ◾ Grayish-brown ◾ Slightly larger than mourning dove ◾ Call is a soft hoohoo hoohoo with the final note descending Black spots Long, pointed tail White wing patch Long, moderately rounded tail Eurasian collared-dove ◾ Gray ◾ 13 inches from tip of beak to end of tail ◾ Call is a three-part coo with similar tone to a domestic pigeon Thin black band on neck with white upper border Long, squared tail Migratory Bird and Waterfowl Hunting Digest 2021–2022 9 Note: We will have our second Elk season in the last 100 years and will have a bear season this coming Fall. The bear are "invasive" as having entered the State through our southern border. No talk of building a wall yet.

It’s open season (ie, no season) on Eurasian doves year round in Georgia. And there’s no problem telling them apart from a mourning dove.

I sure wish I could click on that “thumbs up” icon about a hundred times Daryl. .
