For Dove Season! Man, nothing better than going to a friends house, getting up at 6:30 and dove hunting.
We just got our 1978 Weatherby Centurion fixed and I used that. And man, me and my bro limited out in the morning...
Between us today, we got 46 (12 each in the morning, 11 each in the afternoon)
Who loves to dove hunt? :rock :rock :rock
And these fellas are gonna taste good too!
-
I like hunting them but never developed a taste for them. After trying different recipes I just stopped hunting dove. It was some of the best shot gun hunting I've ever experienced.

:salute Sir if you're not gonna eat what you kill ....etc....
However! If you know someone that will eat em..... then!!!!!

As a migratory game bird bag limits are set by the Feds, for mourning doves its 15 each, per day......
Some one call the Game Warden!! :rock

Sweet Jebus. I hope he's a cat.

I was mistaken on the bag limits. Depending on what state you live in, the daily bag limit can be, 10, 12 or 15 birds. If you did in fact bag your daily limit during the morning, what possessed you to go back out again during the afternoon to attempt another daily bag limit on the same day? :O
Bag limits for migratory game birds, have to scroll down a ways to get to the regs for the mourning doves.

I'd rather shoot clays, no limit, and you don't have to clean, cook, and eat them.

Dove hunting is fun but nothing beats a South Dakota pheasant hunt. Those birds are big, fast and taste yummy!!!!!!

Amen, nothing gets the ticker pumping like the first bird(s) flushed out of the field.

Same here. I hunted them in Kansas a bit and then went to Arizona for UPT. Limit was 15 mourning + 25 whitewing.
After a few limits of 40 birds and trying a bunch of recipes I quit hunting them. They just don't taste that good to me. Took forever to eat 40 of them. Dove with eggs for breakfast, dove sandwiches for lunch, dove for the evening meal and you still have 25 left!
-
Dove has an interesting flavor for sure. We usually hunt all season and have a bbq towards the end. Breast em, stick a sliver of jalapeno in the middle, wrap them in bacon and throw them on the grill is the best/easiest way to prepare them. For my money I would rather hunt and eat quail though… much more exciting and a tastier bird IMO.
-
Ever since I lost my Cayenne I have no interest in hunting birds anymore.
I guided him at a hunting club and guys would rather cancel, if we were booked already, then hunt behind another dog. I have never seen a dog that could work and pin pheasants like him. Even wild ones on windy days he could pin. And quail? It was like somthing out of a outdoors painting.
Man I miss him.
-

That's the point, I think. You could stuff a jalapeno in about anything, wrap it in bacon and it would taste like anything else done the same way.
Dove has nothing really going for it. Most of the recipes are designed to hide the taste. That's why I quit shooting them.
-
Man I miss him.
They say every man gets one good dog.
I don't think that's true; I've had more than one good one.
You won't ever replace him but you can enjoy another one. That's why I start a new pup every time mine gets about 6 years old.
-
I really love taking my oldest and now my youngest boy out to a good dove hunt. The deal here is a little different in that you only go in the afternoons. Some of the best times I spent as a kid with my dad and grandfather's were hunting doves in south central Alabama.

We were told by a game warden that day (because we had already shot out our limit) that it was 12 per session
So we can get 24 a day.
I learned the best way to cook dove is:
After getting the breast out, keep it on the bone. Cut a small slit in the meat in the middle of each side (helps get bbs out) and put Jalapenos in there, then wrap with bacon and grill! Tastes awesome! Gives it a great unique taste nothing else I've ever had can get. Doesn't work near as well with deer, chicken, or quail...
(And I counted all the shells we shot, we shot over 200 times... We gotta go to the skeet shooting range more, but pretty good as it was the first time 'sucessfully' dove hunting in 2 years)

No Game Warden is ever going to tell you that simply because there is NO bag limit (fish, bird or animal) that works that way. None. They are daily limits (and possession limits) not session limits.

Then nothing happened :noid
SERIOUSLY! :noid
And compared to the people we were hunting around, we atleast quit when we hit our limit that 'session'

Nice add at the end there. I don't have any respect for those who poach and exceed bag limits for any type of game. It's not necessary and I'd be inclined to call the TIP line if I caught you doing it. That doesn't set a good example for anyone and for such a blatant disregard of the rules I'd be happy to be the ranger that took your license and privileges away.
That said...
I would love for a higher limit on the honking poop machines that are Canadian Geese. We really need to be able to take more than 2 per day.

Yup. And to come here and brag about exceeding the bag limits is in very poor taste.

not good :(

I didn't even know... :huh
I asked a game warden, thats what he told me. I didn't know
Enough.

Opening day for early goose was yesterday, and that kicks off the entire hunting season. Bagged 4 geese.

It's your job to know the bag limits.
As I stated previously, no game warden is going to tell you it's a session limit simply because there are no session limits for any fish/bird/animals. Session limits simply do not exist here in America. They are all daily and possession limits. I have been hunting and fishing for 30+ years now so don't try pulling the wool over my eyes on this because I know better. :aok

If there was one hunt I had to pick from to go on, that would be it. Have some things to pay off before I can head out with my father.

Doesn't matter how many there are, violating game laws is still wrong. :uhoh

I am not inclined to sue people, but I am inclined to call TIP lines when I see violations of our game laws. Pretty humorous to see people squirm when the Game Warden shows up. I've seen peoples fishing gear and the vehicle they drove to the place get confiscated over a few undersized bass. The look on those peoples faces as the tow truck drove off with their brand new mini van (In Transit sticker still in the window) was absolutely priceless. :rock

yea i bet you would have loved it when they hauled me off for shooting that bear that was killing pigs at the PSF farm in N.W.texas! so what ? i told the judge that i would do it again if i needed too, she said she would call N.M. game and wildlife and tell them too stop releasing there bears in texas, since i had already said i would shoot the next one i saw on my, or PSF land!!!
game laws are fine and your right, some of them are there for a reason, but they don't know everything about everything,and any place were you can easily kill twice your limit in less than a day, over and over, there are too many!
-

Protecting livestock from predators is an entirely different matter than taking twice your daily bag limit in one day.....but you knew that.
and any place were you can easily kill twice your limit in less than a day, over and over, there are too many!
Bag limits are there to not only protect the game we hunt/fish for, but also to ensure that others get to enjoy the same hunting/fishing opportunities as well.......but you knew that already also.
You are more than welcome to have the last word to make whatever attempt you like at justifying breaking game laws. ;)

So, this went from a friendly hunting thread to an argument? Like I said, I always have thought it was 12 per 'session' and thats how I've always hunted.

Don't you get a copy of the regs for your state when you purchase a license? They're free in Ohio at least.

No, we dont in Texas. We usually get an annual hunting booklet though. Academy was out when we got the hunting liscense.
But... I seriously doubt that we'll have another day like opening. That was the best dove hunting I've ever had.
-

They are free in every state I have hunted in, North Carolina, Nebraska, Colorado and Alaska.
Check your PM's Golfer. ;)

screw shooting doves!!!!
someone start shooting these Golly-gee canadian geese!!!!!!!!!! :D
Amen! to that brother
They've become a hazardous nuisance her in NJ. There are some parks kids literally cant play in because of all the goose crap
But they refuse to let you kill em or they will loose some sort of federal funding
-

That's because geese are classified as migratory game birds (even though some Canada goose populations are not migratory). The feds set all migratory game bird seasons and bag limits and states lose federal funding if they don't follow the federal regulations.
Colorado has a non migratory Canada goose population that numbers around 250,000 iirc. The state wants a special season just to cull their numbers but the USFWS won't allow it.
-
They need to start culling some of those damn resident Canadian Geese that never leave the state down here in Alabama. The thing is that most people don't realize that you can kill them since they normally see them around the local water features at the office parks here in Birmingham. Then when you are out on a field hunting about 45 minutes outside of town and they come flying over the dang things get a free pass because people believe that they are protected.

Few of ours migrate.they seem to like it here..YEAR ROUND.
Like I said. they are becomming a hazard. And already are in some areas.poisoning ponds and covering parks. And I mean playground type parks with their fesses.
They need to start doing something.
They are at the point where they are more like a rat infestation problem
then a few groups of birds here and there.
Arrogant bastages too. they literally expect cars to stop for them. They dont even try to get out of the way anymore.
And they will attack you too!
I've ummm accidentally hit a couple over the years.
I didnt go out of my way to hit em. but I didnt try real hard to avoid them
I coulda had a 4 fer. a couple of weeks ago.
But someone was standing by the road.
Damn
-
Almost forgot.
Saw a beautiful sight about 6 months ago.
Im sitting at a light waiting for it to change and I look over and see a whoel group of the nasty bastages.
Just as the light turned green and I was starting to go All of a sudden a red tail Hawk came down and nailed one of the ones that was away from the group.
I was like YEA BABY.
1 down 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,954 to go

yakknow,
i'm not a fisherman(seems agonizingly boring to me), and not a hunter, as i spend my spare time flying,
but to lose your vehicle over a couple undersized fish.....seems seriously extreme. top that off with what could happen to the person that "tipped" the game warden off............well........yo u know the rest.......

yep.....just as bad here in the cherry hill area. i've seen near accidents from these stupid(and i DO mean stupid) creatures just wandering out into traffic, paying no mind to the big 3500# loud things comming at them.

trust me dude.....these effin wastes of living matter don't migrate. they're here all year round, crapping everywhere, causing traffic accidents, and generally being annoying.
i do recall years back, when i enjoyed hearing them in the fall. not so much anymore.
-

same here. i don't stop for stupid people on foot, or bicycles. i don't stop for stupid people in other cars, or trucks. i'm sure as hell not going to stop for stupid animals.
i DO however stop for kids, as they just don't know any better.....although their parents should......

No sympathy from me for poachers of any kind who lose their cars, weapons and privileges. TIP (Turn In a Poacher) lines are anonymous.

I was the one that called in the offense. I watched as these Asians tried to play dumb and act like they didn't speak or understand any English when the Game Warden showed up. I watched as they got belligerent and mouthy when he started to write them a ticket. I laughed at them when the Warden not only called for back up, but then seized their fishing gear and vehicle.
If those people had simply cooperated with the Warden they probably would have gotten off with just a citation. Otoh, if they had simply followed the fishing regulations they wouldn't have had anything to worry about.

Many Canada geese do migrate. However, many states also have resident populations that don't migrate at all. We have the same kinds of issues that Drediok talked about.

Well if you ever get the cahnce to go you wont regret it. Any place around Aberdeen SD is awsome. Lots of flat to small rolling plains with tons of corn and wheat fields. Perfect habitat for ring necks. One average bird is a meal by itself. Last time I hunted the limit was 3 per person per day but no females, only roosters.
Be wary of the ghost phesant too. You will see him. He'll flush on one side of the line, fly straight down the line about 15 -20 yards out and everyone will take at least 2 shoots at him, and he'll still just fly away. :O
-
SD is a pilgrimage every wingshooter should make at least once in his life.
It is an awesome pheasant paradise. The only downer is that your hunting day can be over 5 minutes after you start. You have to pace yourself or the dogs will be P.O.'ed at you.
