Does any one have a "GOOD" reason that dove season does not open on August 15. in the northern states. In Idaho the dove's are bunching up getting ready to leave in the next few weeks.

The same in Idaho we raise them so they can be shot in Mexico This shows the disconnect between the biologist's that run Idf&g and the sportsman that pay there salaries There is no good reason why the dove season does not open Aug !5. In northern states.crossing my fingers that we dont get bad storms, for the rest of this month,like last year. It cleared all of the mature white wing out of the state. come on Sept 1st.

I live down here in South Florida and I have been seeing increasing numbers of morning doves in large groups. They are apparently migrating from somewhere "up North". It is also a sign of a bad winter coming.
Mallards and Canada Geese fall into that same category. Most migrate, always a few that tough it out.
Some winters our evergreens and the neighbors can hold 2-3 dozen doves. Good thermal cover coupled with adequate food and some will stay.
We have a split season; Sept 1-15 and second weekend of Nov for 40 days or so, I'm not exactly sure because it's during pheasant season. 15 bird limit of mourning dove and/or whitewings (there are no whitewings this far north) with a 45 bird possession limit, collared doves are now open season with no bag limit. What are your guys state regs like?
