Eurasian collard doves

It amazes me that a license is required for taking invasive species like these. What's the sense in that?

They are a migrating bird. That is the reason behind the seasons and licensing.

There is no season for Eurasian dove - open year round.

I have a bunch of the Eurasian doves that roost in my walnut tree. They are a lot bigger than a Mourning dove.

I shot a Eurasian Dove, and it landed in my neighbor's back yard.  He felt its breast and said:  "Oooo!  I'll eat him!  "  I have great neighbors.

I actually found that pigeon hunting is very fun

This is a different bird.






They are clear over here too on the far east WA side.

Even better I didnt know I could kill those too.

Lots in GMU 127, act more like pigeons than doves.

Year round season,I presume It would be required to have a license though? I have them everywhere here where I live.Good pellet gun targets.

Not sure if a license is needed to shoot them on your own property, but a small game license isn't that expensive, and would cover you in any situation.

Invasive species,same as Rock Doves(Aka Barn Pigeon).No limit,no license,I better check,never used to have to have a license for them,I've shot them in the basin.
Well it appears that someone figured out how to make money from doing nothing,it's true you have to have a license for them now.

    Predatory Birds (e.g. crow, Eurasian collared dove), Unclassified Wildlife (e.g. coyote): Small game license or big game
license, except not required under certain conditions (see WAC 232-12-005).

I figured as much,I won't worry about the license.I'll just go get one.I can sit in the yard and shoot them all day.Whats the best way to cook them?

Supposedly they will run off morning doves? I have yet to see this and I see them eating with morning doves all the time. I like them the don't cause problems taste like a morning dove have more meat and there's no season. If I get the itch for dove I know right were I can find them.

I thought they were pretty mild-mannered until I saw one trying to run off a Steller's Jay.  Takes a lot to intimidate a Jay.
