Illinois: There is no limit on Eurasian-collared doves and ringed turtle doves, but they may be taken only during established season dates and hours and using only legal methods for mourning doves.
Limits: Illinois allows a daily limit of 15 doves and a possession limit of 45 doves at any one time. Eurasian collared-doves and ringed turtle-doves (African collared dove) do not count toward your limit but may not be hunted after you have reached your limit of mourning doves.
It is my understanding that the can be found in the areas of rural towns especially around grain elevators.
Though invasive, they can only be hunted during the std. season as stated above.... BS
