We have a continuous dove season in Missouri -- September through October. No one hunts dove in the northern part of the State after about mid-September. We often find lots of dove while quail hunting in December...and they are not legal at this time. I plan to petition the Conservation Commission to offer a split season, but I may be the only person who cares. I envy those of you who have a split season that allows later hunting.
