Last Dove Hunt 2023

[WHO]

It was a very good year for dove hunting in Arizona. The season closes tomorrow. Attached is a photo of my last hunt for 2023.

So glad to hear that your season has been a good one. (Nice Parker!)

There’s always Eurasian Banded Dove

All the Eurasians I see are within city limits. They have become urbanized along with the pigeons.

Eurasians have preferred staying around buildings, as opposed to fields and woods, ever since they arrived here in GA. Even though we do kill a few in the sunflower, corn and peanut fields they seem to just go there to feed, then return to areas of human habitation.

Stan, as you’ve noted, we see them in town mostly, although they hang out in our yard, especially during the Winter months. They are regulated here just like mourning dove. I guess Missourians just can’t tell the difference.
