Default OT Dove Hunting

This is off topic however here in Co. there is now a year round , no bag limit season on Euraisan Collard dove. Have any other states followed suit?

Same with Washington. I just saw some this morning about two miles into Idaho.

FWIW -- there is no such thing as Dove hunting. You hunt for a place to shoot Doves.

Here in southern Colorado's San Luis Valley, where it is colder than a "pick your metaphor", the collared doves are increasing at an alarming rate. Sort of like noxious weeds finding a niche without competition or natural predators. The fact that they do not migrate is probably what is giving them the edge. Their avian predators do migrate.

Wish they'd come here to Virginia.

We have them in Kansas. I have a cabin at Bonanza and have spent lots of time up there. Where do you hunt them in the San Louis Valley? I guess I will have to take my gun up there.

James,
I don't really hunt them. I just shoot them whenever they show up on our place. They hang around the grain elevators at the co-op. I know one guy who has hunted them on a friends place near there. We still have pretty much all mourning doves on our place. I haven't tried to find a place to specifically hunt them.

There is no limit or season on Euraisian doves here in Utah. There are plenty of them here but they seem to prefer more settled and built up areas so hunting them might be tough. I've never heard of anyone purposely hunting them. I'm sure a few are added to bags during the regular dove season.
