Opening morning shoot, 103 total birds.  One of the better shoots I've been on.

That's a lot of birds, so I'm clueless on dove rules so I got to ask, is their a limit at all? Are they good eating?

6 guys, 60 morning's 43 collared, yes limit is ten on morning doves no limit on collared. We just quit shooting at around 9.  Last night we deep fried about 75 in panko, and I made some spicy stir-fry out of the rest.  Dang good eating I think.  We went yesterday also and two of us shot around 25

Have you ever tried dove wrapped in bacon w/ a jalapino inside BBq'd ? Super tasty! But most things are in bacon.

I wish there were that many doves on the wetside  :P I could have shot 1 today while fishing  :chuckle: I was on the dryside yesterday fishing, and it was like the doves were dive bombing me. Quite a few quail too you lucky ducks  :tung:

I was wondering how many shells for 103 birds  :chuckle: I know when I dove hunt its about 10 shots to 1 bird  :'( :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
