Anyone hunt Eurasian collared doves?

[Heredoggydoggy]

I see and hear them all over.  They coo similar to a Mourning Dove, but the call is throatier and deeper sounding, and it ends differently.  They let out a raspy "hoot" when they fly over.  I've heard Starlings give out a short call as they fly over, too.  Sort of a warning or alert call, near as I can figure...

No shortage of them in whidbey island   I have been thinking about using a airifle and trying them out.  Are they legal to harvest year round?

You can hunt them year around.  Don't think they can legally be hunted with an air rifle.

I hunt them with the shotgun.

Dang it they are all over my neighborhood.  Not sure how much my neigbhors would enjoy the sound of my 12 gauge and the bb's falling on there homes

Why couldn't they be hunted with an air rifle?  No different than a starling.

I see more than I see of mourning doves.  Frankly, I prefer them.  Why not?  Invasive yes but bigger is better?

I've shot a couple.

There's always at least a half dozen in my backyard.  Never see them out in the field though.

One hunter striving to help the environment.   Good job!

 That was our opening day shoot 6 limits of morning doves  and 40 plus collared.

Dang things keep finding ways into our pheasant pens. I prefer eating them over mourning dove because they're bigger.

They are thick in Ephrata. City ordinance doesn't allow even an air gun. Blow gun?

I shot a few last year hunting mourning doves near Bridgeport. Tastes like....... a Dove. Lots of them on the West side, anywhere people feed song birds.... I saw some by Conway, in the trees by the river and in the fields near Headquarters.
