Question, does anyone eat  Eurasian doves? Just wondering.

I get a couple of the Eurasian doves every year and they're great eating! I like hunting them because they're bigger, slower and dumber than morning doves. :chuckle:

A b7nch of mine started dieing this last week.   I keep finding them dead in my lawn and garden.   I figured my neighbor might have poisoned them, but I doubted it as they are pretty “greenie”.  The birds are attracted to water more so than usual so maybe they are sick. ????   A couple I have found alive have trouble flying, and are listless.   
They are eurasians so not really sad about it.
that is really sad. I'm so sorry. Can someone come here so I can save some?

We had a pretty decent day, shot around 20 and the majority were the eurasion. How did everyone else fare?

Yes, right into the fajitas with the rest of the doves, pigeons too, if they fly by.  :EAT:
Squab fajitas! Yum!

We did well. We got 17 in the AM but only 2 euros. My bro outshot me then but I cleaned the rest of my limit in the evening. Not fast action but consistent and fun for sure!

We went out this morning around Ellensburg and hunter some public land near farming fields, but we saw only a handful of doves. We are thinking of heading somewhere else within an hour drive of Ellensburg later tonight and tomorrow morning. Anyone have any tips on locations they could share for Yakima or elsewhere?

Son and I got a handful on public land, was slow for us last night. Need a wheat field for sure. My boy was pretty excited, glad to see his joy for the outdoors.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Still a few birds around.
