Dove Hunting in Arizona 2014-15 Season is set, with new bag limits The Arizona Game and Fish Commission approved new bag limits for dove season. Hunters are now allowed 15, that's right, fifteen mourning dove per day! The limit on white-winged dove is still 10 birds. This new increase also affects the possession limit to 3 days' worth, 45 birds, of which no more than 30 can be white-winged doves. The season opens September 1 and runs through September 15, 2014. The limit used to be 10 with no more than 6 being white-wing. Happy Happy joy joy.

Are you seeing an influx of Eurasian Doves there too? I was in Texas in May and they were everywhere...

There are Eurasian dove everywhere. Mostly by agriculture farms. I see them everyday here. They have a distinct sound, kind of a raspy coo unlike the smooth coo of the mourning dove.

The last two years I have hunted a small horse ranch up by Greeley,CO. My buddy and I had over half our take in Eurasians, great tasting birds. And they don't move out like the Mourning dove do, making even some winter hunting possible.
No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.

I have two dove nests with both birds sitting on their THIRD brood! They are really pumping out the young this year.
Nest in front had four young in the first brood, three lived to be fledged. Three in second brood all three lived. Still waiting to see the third set of hatchlings.
The harris hawks, coopers and a immature prairie falcon are capitalizing on all these young around my place.

Any of those birds speaking cajun french? Maybe that's where all our doves have gone. Last season in Louisiana I saw only one dove. I have seen one collard dove here this spring.

Our limit in Iowa is fifteen per day too. I have never remembered seeing as many as I am seeing now this summer. It'll only be our third year with a season and I love it.
